What is jank's tooling like? Clojure's felt very much like an afterthought, unfortunately. I do like having a decent set of tools right out of the box. I think Gleam was smart in this respect.

jank will lean heavily into leiningen, though it will have deps.edn support. I think that the process of doing this is much simpler than whatever Clojure CLI devs are doing these days:

    lein new jank hello-world
    cd hello-world
    lein run
    lein test
    lein package

Going forward, we'll see about a leaner version of lein. Maybe we can fork lein and compile it in jank or maybe we'll need to make our own. For now, default lein will be the recommendation.
