Also I noticed a typo/broken link in the Welcome section: The link for "foreward" points to https://book.jank-lang.org/foreward.html, but it should be https://book.jank-lang.org/foreword.html
Congrats on the alpha release! I've been following the jank blog for a year now and it's great to see it reach this milestone. What is the current state of development tooling (such as CIDER support) for Emacs users? Also I noticed a typo/broken link in the Welcome section: The link for "foreward" points to https://book.jank-lang.org/foreward.html , but it should be https://book.jank-lang.org/foreword.html
There's a Clang bug getting in the way of the progress we want, so we'll need to work around. There's a lot I'm juggling, but this is high priority.
Thanks for the broken link report. That should be fixed now.

there's always carp lang but no gc
That's the language I was talking about :) But none of us have worked on it in a while.
> Beyond Clojure, jank is brethren to C++ and it can reach into C++ arbitrarily to both access and define new C++ types, functions, and templates, at runtime. This is done by JIT (just in time) compiling C++, using Clang and LLVM. The result is that you can write Clojure code which can access C and C++ libraries trivially.
From https://book.jank-lang.org, for those of us who've never heard of this language
> jank is a general purpose programming language. It’s a dialect of Clojure, which is itself a dialect of Lisp. jank is functional-first, but it supports adhoc mutations and effects. All data structures are persistent and immutable by default and jank, following Clojure’s design, provides mechanisms for safe mutations for easy concurrency. > Beyond Clojure, jank is brethren to C++ and it can reach into C++ arbitraril…

Carp is great and I would love to include a mode of jank which is very much Carp-esque. If you're interested in working together on this, please let me know.
Maybe Erik, the creator, would be interested. I know he was looking at rewriting Carp in cpp at some point.

It's too bad. I was looking at it the other day, looks really interesting.
My favourite thing was to run it on all kind of microcontrollers as you could just emit C. Wrote a small GBA game with it.
