I'm working on the jank programming language!

https://github.com/jank-lang/jank

It's a native Clojure dialect which is also a C++ dialect, including a JIT compiler and nREPL server. I'm currently building out a custom IR so I can do optimization passes at the level of Clojure semantics, since LLVM will not be able to do them at the LLVM IR level.



You are hero! I just learned about this yesterday when I shared my Clojure editor: https://github.com/tlehman/hammock

I would love to know more about Jank, from what I read, it transpiles to C++ right?
