EDIT: I also think you've severely misinterpreted the article; re-frame (the library/framework that builds on top of reagent, which is a wrapper for React in clojurescript) is basically Redux's suave older brother IMO. [EDIT: Regarding "everything is a component"] And this is a weakness. If everything is a component, everything is tied to the React library/ecosystem. It would be better to treat everything as a primitive - like, say, a function. My data stores are functions (closures), my styles are functions that return data structures, my views are functions that return components. IMO the craze that struck a lot of the React ecosystem (everything's a component! State is a component! Routes are components! Side effects are components!) is dying down and people are realizing that it's better to stick to things that are much simpler and has first-class support from the language. Tying yourself to React (or any one technology) fundamentally limits your capabilities and expressiveness, and also makes your software very brittle. This is why, IMHO, most JavaScript devs actually would be much happier writing in Clojure(Script). The language provides first-class support for so many things that JS devs have to reach to libraries and frameworks for, e.g. immutability, CSP, pattern matching, and actual functional constructs like transducers.
