A long long time ago, at ClojureConj 2014, I asked Rich Hickey whether a cpp-based clojure was possible, and his answer was "well, the primary impediment there is a lack of a garbage collector". There were a lot of conversations going on at the same time, so I didn't get an opportunity to "delve" into it, but:
1. does that objection make sense? 2. How does jank approach that hurdle.
