Is Clojure the only language you need?

• reagent

  41 4,716 1.1 Clojure

  A minimalistic ClojureScript interface to React.js

  

The most popular approach for building frontend with ClojureScript is using React. You can use it via a wrapper library called Reagent and describe UI components as pure functions returning Clojure data structures.

• babashka

  112 3,798 9.2 Clojure

  Native, fast starting Clojure interpreter for scripting

  

Instead, you can use a tool called Babashka. It is a native Clojure interpreter that implements a sufficient subset of Clojure and goes with a bunch of prepacked libs to work with the filesystem, command line arguments, json. All these packed in a standalone binary, that you can deploy anywhere and run Clojure without JVM.

• WorkOS

• HumbleUI

  5 1,111 8.0 Clojure

  Clojure Desktop UI framework

  

So you can see, there are really a lot of choices but none of them dominates, which means they all have flaws. You can read a good article from Niki Tonsky where Clojure UI problems are discussed. Also to address the problems Niki Tonsky started the development of a new UI for Clojure, called Humble UI. So now we have one more option :)

• ClojureDart

  27 1,334 9.2 Clojure

  Clojure dialect for Flutter and Dart

  

Ah, and there is also a new version of Clojure in active development - ClojureDart. It is a port of Clojure language to Dart with the primary goal of using Flutter framework and getting a native mobile and desktop UI.

• status-mobile

  90 3,818 9.9 Clojure

  a free (libre) open source, mobile OS for Ethereum

  

But they exist. For example Status company where I met Clojure for the first time and worked for a few years has a mature blockchain-based mobile messenger written in ClojureScript with ReactNative.

• react-native

  524 115,579 10.0 C++

  A framework for building native applications using React

  

Mobile development is also possible with Clojure. The stack you can use here is ClojureScript + ReactNative. Though it is not as popular as frontend or backend.

• React

  1,691 221,535 9.8 JavaScript

  The library for web and native user interfaces.

  

The most popular approach for building frontend with ClojureScript is using React. You can use it via a wrapper library called Reagent and describe UI components as pure functions returning Clojure data structures.
