So, if I import a C++ library in Jank, all the internal memory allocations/deallocation will go through Jank's GC? How is this implemented? And what if a C++ library relies on some 3rd party allocator library?

One of the effects on software development is: the fact that you submitted a PR with any LoC count doesn't mean that you did any work. You need to explain your solution and answer questions to prove that.

IDK about Haskell, but iterating in REPL with Lisp is the most practical form of programming I've experienced. In other mainstream practical languages this approach is reintroduced as a productivity tool like Quokka, etc. C++ was pract

This is a default pitch for a framework, which is at least as old as Ruby on Rails (an today it sounds more like a pitch for low-code platform than a framework). Is this framework's approach different from RoR/Django in any way, o
