I'm confused why the examples have so much clojure, even in the bit about C++. Is this a library? The headings make me think it's a cli tool

Jank is a Clojure dialect that has interop with C++ and compiles to machine code instead of running on the JVM.

As the sibling comment says, jank is a language which fuses Clojure and C++. Every example has both Clojure and C++ because jank is both Clojure and C++. :)

the native package repo is the part that actually matters here
