What it is

Simple, decomplected, isomorphic HTML UI library for Clojure and ClojureScript

GitHub

Where it is used

No documented product use was verified in the last source check.

What people are saying

I love React as long as it has a thin skim of clojurescript over top. Rum is the underdog compared to reagent but is still my weapon of choice - https://github.com/tonsky/rum…

(Edit: it is worth noting that Hooks are based on Reagent's reactive atoms.) Compare the complexity of Hooks with the simplicity of state management in [Reagent](http://reagent-project.github.io/) or [Rum](https://github.com/tonsky/rum). Complete ClojureScript example using Reagent: (ns reagent-example.core (:require [reagent.core :as r]) (def !count (atom 0)) ;; ! prefix is convention for state (defn counter-component [] [:div [:p "You have clicked the button " @!count " times."] [:button {:on-click #(swap! !count inc)} "Increment"]]) (r/render [counter-component] (js/document.getElementById "app")) The same example using Rum: (ns rum-example.core (:require [rum.core :as rum]) (def !count (atom 0)) (rum/defc counter-component < rum/reactive [] [:div [:p "You have clicked the button "

(rum/react !count) " times."] [:button {:on-click #(swap! !count inc)} "Increment"]]) (rum/mount (counter-component) (js/document.getElementById "app"))
