Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

React.dev
> But Reagent supports functional components as well, with hooks and all.
I addressed this already: while reagent is able to emit function components, there is a performance penalty to this.[1]
> I also very much like Hiccup, and so do many of us, because code is data and data is code, and Helix has decided not to support that.
Hiccup is convenient to write, but it is a constant run-time cost and a significant storage cost given that you have to store long series of constructors to cljs.core.PersistentVector in your bundle, have the JS runtime actually construct the vector, then pass it through a Hiccup interpreter to finally produce DOM nodes and throw away the persistent vector, only to repeat this entire process again on re-render.[2]
> Helix has decided not to support that.
That is simply not true. From the Helix documentation[2],
> If you want to use libraries like sablono, hicada or even hx hiccup parser, you can easily add that by creating a custom macro.
These are all Hiccup interpreters you can readily use.
IME there is very little difference between using the $ macro in Helix and writing Hiccup. I do not really miss Hiccup when I use Helix, and you still have data as code ;)
While this is from an unrelated project, there are benchmarks[3] done against Reagent that demonstrate the sheer overhead it has. In practice it is not a big problem if you rarely trigger a re-render, but otherwise it is a non-trivial cost, and if you want to use modern React features (like Suspense), there is a lot of r/as-element mingling going on, converting cases, etc. that simply make Reagent feel more tedious to use than Helix.
Also, the newer UIx2, which largely borrows from Helix, is "3.2x faster than Reagent" according to one of the contributors.[4]
I think it'd be worthwhile to benchmark all of these libraries against each other and record the data in one place. Maybe I'll get around to doing it this weekend :)

Thought's on react libraries
If your heart’s set on following React latest closely though, UIx2 seems like a great library, and has a migration path from reagent: https://github.com/pitch-io/uix/blob/master/docs/interop-with-reagent.md

UIx v0.8.1
It's been a while since I posted updates on UIx, but here it is, v0.8.1 with API compatibility for React v18.2.0 https://github.com/pitch-io/uix/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

Poignant perspective I found about Clojure's community in r/ExperiencedDevs
I suppose one of the best usecases of code sharing is to do Hydrating Server-Side-Rendered web apps just like Next.js. Not too many other languages are capable of doing this outside of Node and Clojure. For this reason it's kind of surprising that it's not more common in Clojure, seems like most people are just building old fashioned SPA's in Reagent/Reframe rather than competing with Next, but pitch's UIX library does seem to support it https://github.com/pitch-io/uix

Structuring Clojure Applications
When I was looking into ClojureScript I was kind of concerned at the complexity of writing applications in ReFrame which seems to be what most of the community seems to be using. I've developed apps in this kind of event-emitting/event handler style before in JavaScript and found it quickly got quite out of hand. For my next app I will want to go with something like React-Query that in a sort of declarative way handles all your data fetching for you, and lets you decouple your components from the getting ahold of the data they depend on. I also searched far and wide for some kind of framework/library that supports SSR+CSR like Next.js but I don't think there's anything ready yet except maybe https://github.com/pitch-io/uix.

Is there anything in Clojure comparable to Hotwire in Rails or Phoenix Live View in Elixir? I've had with SPA's.
Might want to check out Uix2 by pitch.io here https://github.com/pitch-io/uix/blob/master/docs/server-side-rendering.md Also there's https://inertiajs.com/ which is pretty interesting and has a 3rd party adapter for clojure https://inertiajs.com/community-adapters

reframe or plain reagent for new cljs SPA?
I was starting greenfield I would consider looking further afield, maybe to UIx²

Build Smarter, Not Harder: Simplifying Backend Workflows with Build-time GraphQL
GraphQL is declarative and self-documenting by nature. There’s a single endpoint, and all available data, relationships, and APIs can be explored and consumed by client teams (via the GraphiQL interface or just Introspection) without constantly going back and forth with backend teams.

GraphQL IDEs: GraphiQL vs Altair
GraphiQL is one of the most well-known GraphQL IDEs. Originally developed by Facebook, it is an in-browser tool that enables developers to write, validate, and test GraphQL queries. It is open-source and can be integrated into any project that uses GraphQL. Recently, GraphiQL has been revamped with a new UI and several new features as you can read in ths blog post I wrote earlier.

React.dev
Nice! I think you might like it.
Ah yeah, that does take a while to unpack. I think a lot of the complexity there is dealing with a non-react library and the dynamic import(s). Binding non-react libraries can be a bit rough.
I do think it's a good example to show the big advantage of hooks, if you look at the use of the hook, super clean: https://github.com/graphql/graphiql/blob/50674292c55eadf0e61...
Great way to contain complexity and make usage really clean and simple!

Is there anything like a GraphQL playground for testing various features of GraphQL?

Exploring GraphiQL 2 Updates and New Features
After GraphQL Playground became part of the GraphQL Foundation, the need for having just one GraphQL IDE became more important. So the GraphQL Foundation decided to merge GraphiQL and GraphQL Playground into one tool. GraphiQL 1 relied on major tech debt and multiple dependencies that were outdated and hard to maintain. With the merge of GraphiQL and GraphQL Playground, the GraphQL Foundation decided to create a new version of GraphiQL, which is now called GraphiQL 2. The design and creation of GraphiQL 2 was all documented in Github.

Vue3 + GraphQL : Best way to structure project & queries?
#3: As I mentioned above, we use GraphQL Code Generator for generating TypeScript types and composables, as well as type checking our queries against the schema. This results in fully type-safe code from the back-end all the way to the front-end. As far as editor extensions go, the GraphQL: Language Feature Support VSCode extension should work fine, I use the language server part of that extension with Neovim. It provides autocompletion based on the schema and diagnostics. It looks like it might not work in .vue files though.

React Real Time Messaging With GraphQL
OneGraphiQL is a data explorer that allows us to build up our GraphQL queries and mutations. It is the OneGraph implementation of GraphiQL, which can be used with any GraphQL endpoint. GraphiQL is the perfect way to discover the different things we can request. It is generated from the GraphQL schema and provides helpful documentation for the graph's queries, mutations and types. Additionally, it can intelligently suggest options while we are building our queries and mutations.

Apollo federated graph is not presenting its schema to graphiql with fields sorted lexicographically
If this is a critical functionality, you could raise an issue (with proper reasons why it is important) for sort support either in graphql-js or GraphiQL (guessing this would be a better place) repositories.
