jank is the cutting-edge native Clojure dialect, built on LLVM, with seamless C++ interop. jank is unlocking rich interop with the native world, competitive performance, and an easy native embedding story.

In this talk, we'll cover how and where jank is innovating, the amazing things jank can do, and why having a rich native Clojure dialect matters. This will include topics like our unprecedented C++ interop, gorgeous error messages, impressive performance, easy binary distribution, and more.

Viewers will leave this talk inspired to use jank for game development, desktop GUI apps, scientific computing, and whatever they can dream.
