Jank – The native Clojure dialect with seamless C++ interop
Jank is a new programming language that functions as a Clojure dialect built on top of C++ and LLVM. It allows for seamless C++ interoperability, enabling developers to use functional programming paradigms while maintaining high performance.
Why it matters
This tool bridges the gap between high-level functional languages and low-level system performance, potentially simplifying game development and complex software engineering workflows.

The native Clojure dialect with seamless C++ interop
jank is Clojure on top of C++. It has C++ interop unlike any other language. Templates, virtual functions, exceptions, overload resolution, and RAII all just work in jank. No boilerplate necessary. Just include your headers and go! jank is a robust Clojure dialect. It offers interactive REPL-driven development powered by a Clang-based C++ JIT compiler.

jank builds upon Clojure Keep your existing code; unlock the native world.
jank is a full-on Clojure dialect, with C++ interop instead of Java interop. There's a :jank reader conditional for when you need it.
jank can include any C++ source, link to any C or C++ library, and it uses the C++ type system. jank even compiles to C++!
