Congratulations on the achievement!
Ever since I got into Clojure I have wanted what you are building. I love the language, I love the collections, but I don't love waiting for program startup.
I can't wait until Jank is complete!
In fact, how can we help at the moment?
- Jeaye 2y agoThanks! I'm exciting to get it released. With the three mentees I have, plus my own tasks cruising along, the best way people can help is to build up interest and visibility in jank. Follow, repost, share, like, etc. Once jank is released, I want to make the largest splash we can. If you have the financial means to sponsor my work, that also helps. I'm quitting my job at EA in January to focus on jank full-time for 2025 and I'd really like to secure some form of stability in terms of funding by the end of 2025.
- diggan 2y ago> but I don't love waiting for program startup. Question for curiosities sake, how many times per day do you start this program? I've moved most of my tiny CLI utilities from Clojure to Babashka (with it's handy "cat together bb + your script" workflow) but all the rest is still Clojure, as I don't restart them very frequently.
- gorjusborg 2y agoThank you for the suggestion. I am aware of (and use, where appropriate) babashka, but there is a certain part of me that just wants a consistent environment rather than context switching between 'full clj' and 'bb'. That said, I love babashka and Michiel Borkent's work a great in general.
