Jeaye Wilkerson ([jeaye (Jeaye Wilkerson) · GitHub](https://github.com/jeaye)) will be presenting:
“The jank programming language”
jank ([https://jank-lang.org/](https://jank-lang.org/)) is a Clojure dialect on LLVM with C++ interop. In this talk,
Jeaye will cover jank’s use cases, some challenges around building a
native Clojure dialect, and some insights about Clojure itself found
only by spelunking deep into the Clojure compiler.
Jeaye has a background in C++ systems programming, focusing on games
and game engines. After several years of that, he co-founded an
e-sports tournament startup written in full-stack Clojure for another
5 years. These days, he’s at Electronic Arts (EA) building tooling
used to make some of the world’s top games.
