Anyone with experience with either/both Morearty.js and Omniscient.js care to explain the differences between the two? From what I could gather with a quick look, they seem almost identical in terms of features and scope. https://github.com/moreartyjs/moreartyjs https://github.com/omniscientjs/omniscient

I have been messing around with a reference cursor approach to rendering that does provide a bit of a performance improvement over the immutable + row component solution. https://github.com/omniscientjs/omniscient/issues/93 my results were: Vanilla JS DOM updates (~180 fps) React with stupid 10k Components being checked for ShouldComponentUpdate (~6 fps) React with sane approach using Row component and immutable data (~75 fps) React with my above described approach (~100 fps)

But you can also get om in javascript with something like omniscient[1]/immutable[2], or fynx[3] for flux with immutable. Though I agree both clojurescript and elm look nice, I'd bet you a lot of money they won't be _the_ technologies in 2015.
