Since this appears to be the marquee feature (compared to the well regarded Clojure) it would be good to see some benchmarks comparing the JVM to LLVM versions.
This allows jank to offer the same benefits of REPL-based development while being able to seamlessly reach into the native world and compete seriously with JVM's performance.
I have blog posts with various benchmarks and optimizations, but ultimately all of my time is being spent actually developing the language right now. The fluidity of the implementation also means that the benchmarks from last year aren't really applicable anymore.
Performance measurement and optimization is something I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to being able to focus on once jank hits parity with Clojure and is stable enough to warrant performance as a priority.
