Those other systems don't have Reagent. Reagent is simply the best way to write user interfaces I've seen in 25 years, bar none. The only comparable jump in productivity that I can recall is moving from assembly language to a compiler.
Spending time with a profiler, we can probably improve the size and speed of a Clojure application (I've never tried using it for desktop software). No amount of time playing with Qt/Lazarus is going to give you Reagent, though.
- jtth 7y agoI'm confused. Clojure doesn't have Reagent either. ClojureScript does. And Reagent is a pretty straightforward React wrapper, not so different from Rum. What do you think makes it special? Even Rum renders server-side.

- jcelerier 7y agoSo, you are saying that this : (ns example (:require [reagent.core :as r])) (def click-count (r/atom 0)) (defn counting-component [] [:div "The atom " [:code "click-count"] " has value: " @click-count ". " [:input {:type "button" :value "Click me!" :on-click #(swap! click-count inc)}]]) Is better than this : import QtQuick.Controls 2.3 Button { property int count: 0 onClicked: count++ text: count == 0 ? "Click me!" : "The value is : " + count } ? (testable here : https://tinyurl.com/rjgcfod https://tinyurl.com/rjgcfod)
