I don't have anything terribly insightful to say other than that I really like this project. I loved using Clojure back during it's brief time in the sun, it was a great time, and jank has all the same awesome vibes. I haven't used it on anything serious yet, it seems like it would be great for like a `zig`-flavored approach to C++ builds for example. I'm doing a big C++ project ground up at the moment, I think I'm going to get jank into it and see if I can automate some stuff.
The compilation strategy is very much what Carmack did in Trinity and whether you got your inspiration there or independently had a great idea, that's good company to be keeping.
Keep it up!
I hadn't heard of Carmack doing something similar, but I will take that company any day. Thanks for the kind words!
