One more of those revolutionary functional languages that fade over the course of 5 years?

Why?

jank is a general-purpose programming language which embraces the interactive, value-oriented nature of Clojure as well as the desire for native compilation and minimal runtimes. jank is strongly compatible with Clojure and considers itself a dialect of Clojure.

Looks like they wanted Clojure to have a smaller runtime.

When I tried Clojure the endless Java stackstraces were a pain to debug.

Is it worse than Clojure?
