Yes I've installed babashka. It really is a cool project.
Must look into GraalVM at some point, but, as someone new to Clojure, I'm wary of spending too much time on tooling yet. I've found in the past I can tinker so much with such things that it interferes with getting fluent with more fundamental stuff.
I'd be interested to see if either now or in the future Clojure + JavaFX in GraalVM would be feasible.
Edit: I don't quite get the install size issue - I thought native image was an entirely standalone executable?

The GraalVM system/tooling itself, for generating native code from JVM was a big download/install - the generated binaries, I can't speak to too much.
