Rich has many great ideas and he founded Clojure. I respect him deeply. On typing, however, we do not agree entirely.
For a practical example of a Clojure-like language with a completely static type system (with affine typing), see Carp. https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp
I don't see why there can't be a Carp mode in jank, with bridges in place to connect the Clojurey world from the Carpy world. This would allow jank users to develop interactively to start with, figure out their shapes, use the REPL, etc. Then, if they want, they can lock down some parts of the code for both performance and correctness gains.

I'm interested in exploring this as a potential dialect of jank. In the simplest approach, it's just a lexer change. However, there are implications around how macros will work, since macros generate s-expressions in Clojure, but they'd need to generate whitespace blocks if we want the homoiconicity to spread throughout.
If you're interested in funding this work, or helping with the designs, please reach out. In the meantime, make sure you check out Rhombus. https://rhombus-lang.org/

I find 95% Clojure has the right tools to write very terse code. But in some cases the functional transducer/piped paradigm can't be contorted to the problem.
Usually these are problems where you need to run along a list and check neighboring elements. You can use amap or map-indexed but it's just not ergonomic or Clojure-y (vs for instance the imperative C++ iterator model)
The best short example I can think of is Fibbonacci

I find all the solutions hard to read. They're all ugly

If you can run it, then you can REPL it, no matter how deeply nested. Scope-capture (https://github.com/vvvvalvalval/scope-capture) has been probably the most important tool in my box. Hope jank supports it eventually.
Thanks for jank! It’s great to be reading about it, listening to you talking about it at conferences, and I can’t wait to try it out!
