From a ClojureScript viewpoint, the whole "really fast" thing is a red herring anyway. I don't care whether it's faster than Angular at rendering some tables. What I do care about is the model: my views can now be functions of my immutable data structures and I can write components that react to changes. There are two performance-related issues I care about: React doesn't modify the DOM if it doesn't need to, and my components do not even re-render most of the time, because they don't need to if the data hasn't changed (and thanks to immutable data structures the comparisons are really cheap). It is this approach that is revolutionary. "Really fast" has nothing to do with it. Sure, I'm glad that I can easily create complex apps that have exactly zero performance issues right from the start, but I'm not going to compete in any benchmarks anyway.
