I'm doing a lightning talk on hoplon at the clojure NYC meetup on the 19th. I think my plan is to show some code and then address why to maybe consider it over react frameworks since it seems like that's what everyone's first question is. I think mainly 1) hoplon is less mental overhead 2) There's a good chance any performance differences that might exist are premature optimizations

it’s several abstraction layers thinner than React

i wish i had advice, i’ve given several talks and never quite figured out a way to empower people to compare

between us i think micha’s done the best job so far, with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoZyyo2Bwr8

two particular technical things to possibly illuminate are 1) one big atom vs. cells - that the cell graph is a secret one big atom, and 2) the difference between retained-mode (hlisp/dom) and immediate-mode (react) graphics

Yeah I remember that talk being very good I'll have to re-watch it a few times. And look into those other things. Thanks!

np! one last thing is, you may consider not showing cell= and just showing formula

I’d still show cell= - it’s way too cool

Does anyone remember an article that talked about how to mount a hoplon app into regular html page? gotta link?
