What Hacker News says
6 sources> I've been thinking a lot about how to bring this back into the JS world. I have yet to find any good literature on it, but I will be exploring this area more.
The JS equivalent of figwheel is React Hot Loader[1]. There's a port of core.async[2] but I've also seen people using Babelized ES7 async/await for avoiding callbacks. The reloaded workflow is just a pattern around building objects with a topological sort for order initialization. I expect you could build a JS version in ~200 lines of code.

I'm unaware of editor integration between an editor and browser runtime a la slime/nrepl. I think LightTable had a basic implementation but it's been a while and I could be remembering it incorrectly.
In Why ClojureScript MattersSweet! I keep hearing good things about Webpack, including good integration with React Hot Loader[1]. Will create a ticket in repo to assess switching over to Webpack :)

In Show HN: Essential React, a minimal skeleton for building React apps using ES6React Hot Loader – Tweak components in real time
2 points · Open discussionProps go to Josh Hillier (https://twitter.com/_joshhillier/) and his Pen (http://codepen.io/joshy/details/cojbD). I later converted it to use React Tween State (https://github.com/chenglou/react-tween-state) for animation.
Gadzhi (you may know him as the designer behind Sublime Spacegray theme, http://kkga.me/) helped polish the logo and added the outer animation. It's currently in CSS but I plan to to move it into the component as well.
