Thank you, Nubank, for the Github sponsorship! To me, I gather that Nubank is investing in the future of jank because they clearly care about the future of #clojure and its community. I could not be more appreciative. 🩵

I'm happy to announce that I'll be presenting at Clojure Conj 2025.
My talk is entitled: "How to stick with your projects, even when they're janky"
We'll cover rewrites, building a community, development practices, avoiding burnout, and, of course, jank itself.

The first UI has been built in jank, the native Clojure dialect!
github.com/kylc/jank-im...
This example uses imgui, GLFW, and OpenGL. Kyle Cesare was brave enough to figure this all out using only jank's blog posts as docs. We're getting close!

I've just built a distributable Arch Linux tarball for jank which can run on a fresh Arch Linux image with a couple of pacman deps installed. We're getting close to easy distro packaging and release binaries.
We're getting close to jank's alpha release. 😀

jank now has a health check, so you can troubleshoot any issues with your setup. This should come in handy as we add packages for Ubuntu, Arch, Nix, Homebrew, and MacPorts.

Today I turned NeoVim's syntax feature off (`syntax off`). Turns out it's no longer needed, with treesitter. Everything still works well and, in fact, some visual highlighting issues are gone. If you're using treesitter and you don't use `syntax off`, both are running.

C++ value lookup. Automatic conversions to jank objects. C++ constructor calls, overload matching, and automatic conversions from jank objects. This is the start of seamless interop in jank. 💪
