I was not aware of cljs-bean, but it definitely looks like it's worth checking out!

How can you use hooks right now? The standard is reagent which compiles down to classes which don't work with hooks. I think reagent has given a functional react and hooks style programming for years but now is a little behind the curve.

There’s a library called hx that embraces hooks and the native React way. You still write hiccup, but you get a React functional component.

Reagent works with hooks. https://github.com/reagent-project/reagent/blob/363f2d4976ac...

You would do what Reagent does and use JS interop yourself and call React directly. Plenty of people in Clojure-land implement things themselves if the thing to implement seems simple enough. Probably more true for Clojure developers than let's say JS/Ruby developers.
- although figwheel is an awesome build tool, shadow-cljs with its near seamless npm integration is imo the most powerful Cljs build tool atm [1].
- cljs-bean[2], recently released by Mike Fikes is a really cool tool: it makes working with POJO really easy without too much performance penalty
- the new react hook API is imo a game changer for CLJS frontend frameworks: the decision to overload native function for componenents instead of using ES6 classes makes working with react componenent much more easier, imo this new API suits CLJS perfectly: hooks are just js functions that are called in the same order at each render pass.
- clojure.spec and clojure.spec.gen in a REPL are really powerful tools for frontend development that are unavailable in the wide JS world.
All in all I am actually much more optimist than a few months back about the future of CLJS frontend dev, those are still relatively new tools, clojure.spec is still a work in progress (although I would recommend to take a look at the metosin spec-tools which are really nice).
