I'm not David, but I'm guessing "performance reasons" is the answer. The React library relies on member functions to render html (React.DOM.div, React.DOM.input, etc) so this maps more efficiently onto a macro-based html rendering solution, as opposed to one based purely on EDN (like hiccup). Note that the approach used by Om is common in the Common Lisp & Scheme worlds (since those languages don't have clean map & vector literals like Clojure, the hiccup approach is more awkward in those languages.) The #js literals can forwarded directly to the React.js library and are therefore also very efficient. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
