Yes. While I like the hiccup-ish reagent syntax it does present some performance issues. In reagent you first allocate a bunch of vectors, these are then interpreted by reagent and turned into ReactElements allocating even more objects. The vectors are now "garbage" and have to be collected. The reagent approach produces about twice as much garbage and is slower overall (keyword parsing) as you have way more work being done each render, since browsers are pretty fast these days you don't notice this much but the price is there. om.dom or shadow.markup directly go through React.createElement and the result will then be interpreted by React effectively skipping the "vector-phase". I even go a little further than om.dom if you look at the shadow.markup.react ns (direct drop-in replacement btw). I do some macro magic to further reduce cost. This is probably overkill though, but you get the usual dom/h1, dom/div, etc functions. I think the reason why the hiccup syntax is so popular is because of the shorthand form of :div.class-a.class-b, but since you do not need this with defstyled the argument for the hiccup syntax is weaker. So yes, the hiccup-ish syntax is an alternative but I stick to exclusively using the fn-style syntax. Using Cursive indent-only mode it indents just like vectors and after doing this for a while now it looks better than the hiccup syntax to me. The price of reagent is that you cannot mix both syntaxes, on the clojure version I currently support the mixed style but that is probably going away at some point. Sorry, didn't want to turn this into a rant on reagent. -- Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with your first post. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ClojureScript" group.
