What's the demonym for Jank devs? Janker?

Still deciding. Maybe jankster.
Jankobite? Ehhh

I love this project, and frankly I can't wait until I see Zig code stitched into and interoperating in a lisp via C transpilation, but I really do agree with the top commenter if you can't get Clojure trademark approval.

Anyways, keep up the amazing work, I wish I could have seen your janky talk at Strangeloop on another timeline.

I suppose jank-yanker is off the table.
The cute form would be Jankiye
Yes but pronounced in the Nordic and Central European fashion (“yanker”)
Jankee seems like a perfectly janky demonym.
Jankobian?
Jankbroni
When there's a book, whoever does the illustrations should be a jankee doodle.

... Right, I'll show myself out.

It can get adapted to a Broadway musical and named Damn Jankees
Jankoffs
