The Case for React.js and ClojureScript
Almost everything I've seen about React makes me happy. However there are some parts for which I do not understand everyone else's excitement. This presentation contains a great example on slide 53 when it says:<p>"No Templates!"<p>With an exclamation mark, even! What it doesn't tell me, is what is wrong with templates in the first place? I happen to like them versus the feeling the alternative gives: Awkwardly-mixed-paradigms and using string concatenation while attempting to represent one language within another.<p>Can someone who dislikes templates explain? Or maybe explain what a template means to you, as perhaps we're not all thinking about the same thing when someone says "No Templates!"
