Oh, such a cool pursuit. I'm looking forward to more pictures. 😀
One must always choose the lesser of two weevils.
There will be a jank presentation at the upcoming macroexpand-deep conference this Saturday! If you'd like to see the crucial first steps of introducing jank into the world of machine learning, be sure to sign up (for free) and check it out.

There's a new development update out for jank, the native #clojure dialect. Read up on what's been going on the past couple of months!

I have a 💰 $1,000 USD 💰bounty on the last issue which is preventing jank from using upstream Clang/LLVM. I've outlined the problem in this ticket and I'm calling anyone interested to help us solve this!
RT this to help jank.

In theory, yes, since jank targets LLVM and LLVM can target WASM. This has been done for a lot of LLVM-based langs so far, but nobody has done it yet for jank. Perhaps you'll be the first? :)
Looking for a new project? Want to help out jank and the #clojure community? Help us build out the clojure-test-suite! Anyone who knows Clojure can do this and the workflow is very easy. Try it out!

Did you know that you can now install jank binaries on Ubuntu 24.04 and 24.10 by using jank's apt PPA? They build continuously from CI.

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!

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 live now, building out Debian package support for jank. Come say hi! www.twitch.tv/jeayewilkerson
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.

Noooo. The show was frustrating, but it was still amazing to see the WoT world brought to life. Many of us have invested so much time into reading those books and we have a connection to the characters.
The main frustration was that they diverged from the books quite a bit, but I had accepted it.
Waits is my #1 desert island artist. Ribot's such a good fit for his sound.
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.
Call your mom.
