Does ClojureScript have a concept of round-tripping records like Clojure has?

(defrecord A [])
(??/read-string (pr-str (->A)))

or do you have to manually add reader functions to `(edn/read-string {...} ...)` if you wanted to do this? Note: I don't need this, I just want to know if it's supported or not, and what's the reasoning behind it.

it does not. the reason is that there is no way to dynamically look up the classname of a record at runtime in :advanced

thheller16:11:36

clojure can just load the class or namespace by name

well, given that the class is AOT-ed or defined at the right time
