jank is a general-purpose programming language that combines the interactive, value-oriented features of Clojure with the performance of native compilation through C++ and LLVM. It allows seamless integration of Clojure and C++ code, supports REPL-based development, and offers powerful data manipulation capabilities while emphasizing immutability and functional programming principles. jank is currently in heavy development and aims to provide a robust toolset for developers familiar with Clojure.
