jank is a Clojure dialect with C++ rather than Java interoperability, designed to use templates, virtual functions, exceptions and RAII through included headers. It offers Clang/LLVM-based JIT execution, REPL and nREPL workflows, and Leiningen-based management of native dependencies. Game development can combine immutable data and interactive work with C++ and produce AOT binaries. The repository still labels jank alpha, so it is not a stable release guaranteeing complete compatibility with existing Clojure programs.
