Well, reacts API forces people into immutability by convention

The benefits of using CLJS data structures would be some possible memory efficiency improvements, as well as having first class support for immutable operations

lilactown03:06:21

I was specifically addressing the claim that CLJS data structures were somehow worse when it comes to the new react API

lilactown03:06:39

They are at least as good 😁

lilactown03:06:30

Good always has a context though. Mutable JS data structures will always be better in tight loops

lilactown03:06:16

But in reacts land, there's no benefits to mutable data structures

React optimizes changes to building the Dom right? Nothing impacts the later trees: render, layout, paint?

lilactown17:06:31

react computes an optimal set of DOM mutations (`createElement` / append / etc)

lilactown17:06:43

does that answer your question?
