There will be a lot of room for this, once I build out more of the features. In particular, there will be a lot of Clojure libraries which need to gain jank support. Clojure doesn't require "porting", so to speak, since it has a special .cljc file which can use reader conditionals to check the host that it's in (clj, cljs, cljr, jank, etc). So anywhere those libs are using Java interop, we'd need to wrap it to use native interop instead.
The vast majority of it is heavy C++ work, though. Outside of that, the biggest gains will come from time spent on packaging, distribution, and testing on various platforms.
And if none of that sounds interesting or applicable, don't worry. Just be sure to join the Slack channel and hang out with us. :)
On the compiler and tooling itself, I have some open issues here: https://github.com/jank-lang/jank/issues
