jank will have full nREPL support, so the REPL story should be at parity with Clojure. I'm working on the nREPL server now We're JIT compiling C++ code, so there are indeed more dragons.
- worthless-trash 2y agoHi, Late to the party, do you think you could give me a comparison of Jank vs Janet ? I'm just starting to look at janet, and just found out about jank at this point. How usable is Jank for greenfield projects, The comparison page isnt that useful as I don't know what I'm missing. Thanks in advance.
- Jeaye 2y agoIn terms of design, Janet is Clojure-inspired, but very much does its own thing. jank is a Clojure, such that any existing Clojure code you have will work. Largely speaking, only Java intorop needs to be ported, using a reader conditonal. Beyond that, jank is built on a C++ host and interops with C++. This means you qan use C++ features, such as templates, in your jank code. Janet has a C runtime and any C++ interop will need to be through C's ABI. Lastly, Janet is usable today while jank is still under heavy development.
