My reasoning is this:
jank is written in C++. Its compiler and runtime are both in C++. jank can compile to C++ directly (or LLVM IR). jank can reach into C++ seamlessly, which includes reaching into its own compiler/runtime. Thus, the boundary between what is C++ and what is Clojure is gone, which leaves jank as being both Clojure and C++.
Achieving this singularity is a milestone for jank and, I think, is worthy of the title.
FWIW, I saw that the title was false (after all, Jank and C++ are two different things), but I assumed it was playing on the snowclone "Are we _X_ yet?" and therefore the blog post was going to be explaining why the answer to "Is Jank C++ yet?" should be "Yes, Jank is C++ now."
