@vishal.gautam just to be clear, they act the same. So, generally speaking, you use a ratom as you would an atom. But they are different under the covers.

The question was about ratom vs ratom. :) There's an alias in Reagent.

Uggh. Sorry

mikethompson23:05:23

ratoms gain special powers within Reagent Components (which normal atoms don't have). viz. If a ratom is changed (`swap!`, etc), any Components which use them are re-rendered
