rum

In the context of this article, it's worth pointing out that hiccup doesn't escape strings automatically. Rum does, and I've been using it as a drop-in replacement: user> (require '[rum.core :as rum] '[hiccup.core :as hiccup]) nil user> (rum/render-static-markup [:p "<script>alert('you have been pwned')</script>"]) "<p>&lt;script&gt;alert(&#x27;you have been pwned&#x27;)&lt;/script&gt;</p>" user> (hiccup/html [:p "<script>alert('you have been pwned')</script>"]) "<p><script>alert('you have been pwned')</script></p>" (Note that Rum is also a React wrapper, but you don't have to use that part of it; you can simply use it for static rendering of HTML.) https://github.com/tonsky/rum

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 Was disillusioned when I had to dive into a pure js project using React. The real benefit, I think, is that you get the well established Clojure idioms around isolating and managing mutable state. State is stored in a Atom, which is atomically mutated, and reactive components essentially 'subscribe' to updates upon that atom to re render. The mutations can be handled centrally by a message queue, but really, event sourcing like that is not always needed.
