- bschwindHN 8y agoThis is a bizarre comment to me. React is already used _way_ more than Reagent. Even Reagent itself uses React internally. What "lunch" is there to eat? People who enjoy ClojureScript will still use Reagent/Re-Frame because it's not JavaScript.
- fnordsensei 8y agoI think it refers to adopting a pattern from Reagent. Throughout its lifetime, React does seem to have had a mutually beneficial relationship with the ClojureScript ecosystem, with select ideas from Reagent, Om and others being adopted in core React, or as JS libraries around it.
- lilactown 8y agoIn the small world of the CLJS ecosystem, we use some very elaborate wrappers around React (for good and bad reasons). I'm excited to have many of the features we have had to implement and maintain in user land be moved into React proper, so that we can remove swathes of code that were filling in gaps in the React framework. In general, I am much more confident in the React team supporting these concerns - simply because there's WAYYY more time, money and mindshare involved - than the CLJS ecosystem shouldering the burden.
