Thanks a lot Tim, I really appreciate you responding (as you said, it can
be discouraging to not get any response)

For the record, I just tried this simple example and it works

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent
  (create-ob-npx :name "ob-nbb"
                 :language "clojurescript"
                 :npx-arguments "nbb")
#+end_src

#+begin_src clojurescript
  (prn (+ 1 2 3))
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: 6


Never pushed anything to MELPA before but will have to take a look at how
to do this.
