Here's a first glimpse at C++ context being added to errors. In this case, we're noting the candidates involved in ambiguous overload resolution. Thoughts?

Kyle Cesare cooked up a 4x4 sandbox in jank + #raylib + #box3d. It's adorable!

Did you know jank has a built-in benchmarking library for easy benchmarks with beautiful output? It even checks for common benchmarking mistakes, like debug builds, missing optimization flags, and lazy compilation.

jank's terminal REPL client has been revamped to support completions, syntax highlighting, and multi-line inputs. The jank command will now start up the REPL client by default.

Joseph Ferano whipped up a sand painting app with jank and raylib in a matter of hours. It's beautiful!

jank's getting support for runtime exception stack traces and code snippets. This is some tricky code involving LLVM, the GDB-JIT interface, cpptrace, and some jank-side object file tracking. The result is gorgeous. Check out the stack trace for how we can render Clojure frames.

If you've not yet signed up for #clojure Conj, now's a great time. In case you're unable to make it this year, did you know that there's a free live stream? That's right, you can still catch my talk live, for free! 2026.clojure-conj.org

Hey folks! I'm happy to share that I'll be presenting at #clojure Conj 2026. My talk "Would you believe it's jank?" will highlight jank's features, go deep into our world-class C++ interop, our custom build system, and include some impressive demos. I'll see you there!

Based on the recent survey, it's pretty clear how people want to use jank. jank will start an era of #clojure game development.

We have folks embedding jank in Godot now. Seems like it might be time to prioritize making this easy.

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.

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. 💪

Seamless C++ interop! jank can now find global C++ values. Still months worth of work remaining, but the progress is clear. #clojure

jank supports macro expansion stack traces now. Let's compare jank and #clojure, given the identical source file. 😍

Jeaye Wilkerson @jeaye.com · 25/02/2025

I've been exploring with compilation errors through macro expansions, across files. This ends up requiring us to track a lot more source information, but the results can be very nice. #clojure

Sketching out jank's new error reporting. Thoughts? 🤔 #clojure #llvm

jank, the native Clojure dialect on LLVM, now has a logo! C++ on one side, Clojure on the other, functional at the core. Shout out to jaide for designing this! github.com/jaidetree #clojure #llvm #cplusplus

Here's a new jank development update and optimization adventure! This time, with a ray tracer. jank-lang.org/blog/2023-04-07-ray-t… #clojure
