Jank Programming Language

 Like

Where jank differs from Clojure JVM is that its host is C++ on top of an LLVM-based JIT. This allows jank to offer the same benefits of REPL-based development while being able to seamlessly reach into the native world and compete seriously with JVM's performance.

What is Jank Programming Language?

Where jank differs from Clojure JVM is that its host is C++ on top of an LLVM-based JIT. This allows jank to offer the same benefits of REPL-based development while being able to seamlessly reach into the native world and compete seriously with JVM's performance.

Still, jank is a Clojure dialect and thus includes its code-as-data philosophy and powerful macro system. jank remains a functional-first language which builds upon Clojure's rich set of persistent, immutable data structures. When mutability is needed, jank offers a software transaction memory and reactive agent system to ensure clean and correct multi-threaded designs.
