That’s really interesting, as a long time clojurist and recent rust user. Can you expand on that, or is it too early days?

  jank is the native Clojure dialect on LLVM, with seamless C++ interop. You get full interactive dev, REPL support, etc while having native binaries, ability to JIT compile C++ code along with your Clojure sources, ability to load arbitrary .o and .so files, etc. It'll have its first alpha release this year. It's currently written in C++, but will be migrated to Rust piece by piece, either once we find a champion to lead it or once we reach Clojure parity and I can focus on it. C++ interop will remain, but we'll benefit from Rust's memory safety and improved dev tooling. https://jank-lang.org/blog/2025-01-10-i-quit-my-job/ https://jank-lang.org/blog/2025-01-10-i-quit-my-job/

    > REPL support I randomly came across the talk from the founder, and their reasoning for this was awesome: basically creating a C++ REPL for the science community (and the rest of us by happy accident).
