I've fixed and improved all the of the issues I marked for this update. version "0.10.0-beta-SNAPSHOT" now on clojars. The only remaining issue is to finish improving the docs.

Making UI components work more like values is a much bigger deal than I thought it would be. It's already made some changes much easier. I think it will take a while to fully realize the utility of UI components as values.

have you had a chance to read this post? https://luisthiamnye.substack.com/p/adventures-in-dynamic-software-visualisations

I did read through that post. I would also like to see software and UIs be more dynamic, but I have a pretty different take on how to go about it. The early clojure talks (especially "Are we there Yet?" and "Simple made easy") discuss some fundamental programming problems. The talks also explain how Clojure is designed to address those fundamental problem. If you look at the problems with building user interfaces, it's mostly the same problems. • place oriented programming • weak support for information • brittleness/coupling • Parochialism/context • concurrency UI programming is still stuck in an OO world. I don't think a new language is required to start addressing those problems. Further, I think clojure already provides lots of support for taking on those challenges. React was an improvement over existing options when it came out, but I think there's still huge improvements to be made. It's hard to find UI frameworks where views are immutable values and components/events are pure functions. I feel pretty good about membrane so far but there are still dozens of places where I know things could be simpler, but I haven't had the time to design and implement the improvement.
