Through the Looking Glass
summary
Claims concrete enough to pick: ClojureScript plus persistent immutable data structures yields 3× speedup over plain React in a benchmark, and adding 13 lines gives time-travel debugging; development uses Figwheel live reload that preserves app state; production builds use Google Closure for advanced dead-code elimination and code splitting; Spec can generate example data and the minimal counterexample that breaks a function; brief demos and tooling notes back these claims.
