Excellent :) I do caution people getting too deep into Om at this point, some details may change over the next couple of months and I've got a few big ideas coming as well.

Know of any resources of using clojurescript + react without Om (while we wait for more awesome)? Would the idea be calling setState from an atom's watch and transforming the map to a javascript object?

so... React in clojurescript is great. the other bindings i have seen are pump [1], but as i'm new to lisp/clojurescript i struggled with some of the parallels. a tutorial comes welcome.

somewhat aside- am i crazy for thinking React should bundle some sort of internal style processor? having your template and and your logic in the same place, in the same language, (cljs + react) seems to transcend the dirty feeling of template interpolation (Backbone muddies your JS with selectors. Angular muddies your HTML with directives and logic).

having your styles in the same place, in the same language, seems like next step to truly portable web components. probably lots of ways to do this wrong but probably at least one way to do it right.

"Lets have a tinybrowser like thing to target that will run inside the browser and output to it as if it was a GPU" is truly one of those its-so-crazy-it-just-might-work ideas.

I'm a tad miffed about the size (70KB), but then again it is smaller than Angular.

I took a wait-and-see attitude with Angular/Ember/Meteor/Yet-another-Express, they are all neat in a way but never completely shoo away the feeling that the whole Javascript MVC thing is some sort of programming Vietnam.

The OP is totally different and alien and actually gives me hope! Hurrah! Exciting times.

I know very little about React, so this might be a dumb question. I looked at the source for the example and it looks very nice, but I noticed the DOM is built using constructs like (dom/div ...). Is it also possible to use something akin to hiccup's syntax like [:div ...]?

Why would you want to bundle styles with your components? There is already a nice separation there, maybe you could give an example use case?
