Thanks for sharing, Chris! How does something like this compare to direct ChatGPT usage? I didn't sign up, but I'm interested in LLMs for language learning and I'd like to understand what you've built compared to what I&

Happy to. Ferret and jank have similar goals, but some key differences: 1. Ferret targets embedded platforms primarily; jank is more general and less constrained 2. Ferret doesn't have a JIT-based runtime, meaning no nREPL while you bu

On the topic of using C++ for scripting, and related to the discussion of CERN's ROOT/Cling, I am developing a Clojure dialect on C++/LLVM called jank: https://jank-lang.org/ jank is a true Clojure, meaning y

I think this is a fair question to pose and I'm glad you asked it.

Clojure is not dead. As a measure of community, the Slack workspace has around 25k members in it right now. Even more, Clojure lives on through its various dialects: ClojureScript (JS), Clojure CLR, Clojerl (Erlang), Fennel (Lua), jank (LLV

Writing the packaging expressions should not be harder than writing the program, for the average developer. The average developer doesn't know FP, at this point. Nix needs: 1. Approachability for those not indoctrinated in lazy, declar

Most libraries I tend to use are generally pure Clojure, with some reader conditionals at the edges. jank will also support reader conditionals, so those libraries can grow to support C++ interop where needed.

Type checking gets wonky in the REPL world, since things are changing a lot. During JIT usage (i.e. REPL usage or running a program right from source), type checking happens for each new form, taking into account what it knows of the types

Thanks for the feedback. The usage of "jank" here refers to its design; the concept of jank. This is different from its current implementation. jank is designed to be many things, as the landing page shows, and the implementation

It is self-deprecating, yeah. But hopefully it's memorable!

This applies to the compiler itself, in the same way that GCC is under the GPL but that doesn't mean all programs you compile with it are also under the GPL.

Compile times will be slower than Clojure's, for sure. That also means run-time speed will be affected, due to JIT compilation time. This will not affect AOT compiled run-time speed, though. I don't have numbers yet, but you'

jank is currently using immer for persistent data structures: https://github.com/arximboldi/immer Very much inspired by Clojure, with a lot of time put into benchmarking and profiling. It's too early for me to sha

Everything on the landing page talks about jank's goals and aspirations. 100% Clojure compatibility is a big one. The progress page starts with this disclaimer: > jank is under heavy development. It's safest to assume that any

This year I wrote the latest compiler for jank[1] to be in C++. Originally, this new version was being written in Rust, which I prefer, but I ran into a serious limitation. In the C++ world, we have Cling[2], so I can easily JIT compile arb

I disagree that Clojure needs a Rails, in the sense that there's a single framework to use for all web server needs. However, I do really think Clojure needs a better documentation story for web development across the board. Getting a
