I've found reagent's simplicity very appealing. If you check the github.io page for it (http://reagent-project.github.io/), you can see some short and sweet examples.

How does it compare to Om?

Reagent is still very early in its development but so far much simple to use than Om ...

Reagent is very stable and has been for a long time now. Many people, myself included, are using it in production without any problems. The API has been very stable without any breaking changes as well.

The biggest difference is that, unlike Om, Reagent does not require you to reify an interface to define a component. Instead, components are defined with functions which return a hiccup-like datastructure. If you need access to React's other lifecycle methods, you can provide metadata, but in general, you don't need to bother. Personally, I find this easier to reason about.

The other major change is that state is managed through a special, customized, reactive atom. Everytime the atom is updated, any components which use it are updated. You can have as many of these atoms as you want and you can use them from as many components as you want.

Take a look at Prismatic's om-tools(1).

It adds a defcomponent macro that removes a lot of boilerplate.

Om is over engineered, Reagent takes the simple-made-easy approach.

undershirt• 11 years ago

Om has extra constructor syntax and functions for dealing with cursors; that's it. I get the initial perception that Om is "over-engineered" but it just isn't.

Dmitri, who runs the Reagent project, is the single most responsive OSS maintainer I've ever worked with. I highly recommend the experience.

idibidiart4• 11 years ago

Dan Holmsand is the man behind Reagent. I believe Dimitri maintains the overall Reagent Project? Still getting to know who's who :)

moomin2• 11 years ago

You're right, I hadn't actually paid enough attention. He's responsible for the overall project (and Luminus, obviously) but doesn't actually do that much with core reagent. (Which isn't to say he isn't extremely active...)

yogthos2• 11 years ago

I only contribute some small things like the template and data bindings lib, Dan Holmsand is the brains behind the project and the one who actually maintains it. He's doing a fantastic job at that. ;)
