Jank's development has accelerated towards its alpha release. Key progress includes stabilizing C++ interop, faster startup via a two-phase compiler, and easier installation with new Ubuntu PPA, AUR, and Nix packages. Community efforts have yielded an nREPL server, an imgui wrapper, and AOT compilation for executables. Support for new objects like big decimals, UUIDs, and regex has also been added. 馃帀
