Babashka 1.13.220 gets FFI

Babashka 1.13.220 introduces a new experimental babashka.ffi namespace enabling direct C library calls from Babashka scripts. The library also works as a standalone JVM Clojure library, building on java.lang.foreign with explicit memory management through arenas.

Background

Babashka is a fast, lightweight interpreter for Clojure that runs natively without needing a JVM startup. The new FFI capability bridges a long-standing gap by allowing direct system library access.
