jank
A native Clojure dialect hosted on LLVM with seamless C++ interoperability.
What is jank?
jank is a native Clojure dialect hosted on LLVM with seamless C++ interoperability. It brings Clojure's interactive, functional, and value-oriented programming model to a native runtime, offering performance similar to C++ while maintaining strong compatibility with Clojure. The language aims to solve the need for Clojure-like expressiveness in environments where native performance and direct system integration are critical.
Developers familiar with Clojure who need native performance, C++ interoperability, or want to use Clojure-like semantics outside the JVM. It's also for those interested in programming language design and compilers targeting LLVM.
Developers choose jank for its unique combination of Clojure's high-level expressiveness and interactive development workflow with the native performance and C++ interoperability provided by LLVM. It offers a compelling alternative for scenarios where the JVM is not suitable but Clojure's semantics are desired.
