What's the plan for Jakt, the programming language? Does it fall under the SerenityOS umbrella? Will LadyBird continue to use C++? The blog post doesn't mention it.

It has come up from time to time. From the perspective of LadyBird it is an experiment that ran its course and LadyBird will likely just be c++.
From the perspective of serenity os it is still there and mostly compatible if someone is interested to come along and push it forward to be used in the os.
Given that the main author is looking into another language, maybe not much left anyway.

And now June is dead too.

Pretty sure it has been dead for a while. I personally never saw the point but I suppose the whole mantra of Serenity was developing everything from scratch.
