On: Virtual DOM in Elm

[jmtulloss]

This is really great work.

Why do all of this instead of just using Om? I'm currently waffling between Om and straight react.js for a project of mine.

Project requires designers committing on your codebase -> use react with jsx

Able to use cljs and don't care about designer friendly -> what are you waiting for!!!

I know you've probably answered this question a million times... but could you briefly explain your enthusiasm for clojurescript and/or om? I've been using the react js library and have been wondering what makes clojurescript a step above javascript and om a step above react.

Thank you!

cljs/om gives you functional programming as a default, with javascript/react you have to work for it
