The Functional Final Frontier
summary
Explains a concrete architecture: ClojureScript persistent data + Facebook React via the Om library, with Om exposing cursors (path-backed wrappers) to give components local views of a single immutable app-state. Claims include rendering benchmarks faster than Backbone and even faster than React out of the box, an undo in five lines demo, and APIs for modularity via TX listen and instrument. Shows a Zenrise interface builder and a datomic-backed session REPL.
