i feel you, jwr. at my previous startup i've developed everything with clojurescript. our dashboard, our browser plugin, our react native app was all cljs except for the api which i built with django.

thanks to clojurescript, i was able to build all these tools so fast and clean, we had a lot of time to work on the business itself. we failed to find a product market fit though.

to every new founder out there who always wanted to try clojurescript, if you are going to work on a client application and love react, i cannot stress enough how easy and fast it is to develop with clojurescript and re-frame.



How up-to-date is clojurescript+react-native workflow?

I checked Re-natal as tool to manage build/debug workflow with clojurescript+react-native

https://github.com/drapanjanas/re-natal

But re-natal supports up to React native 0.59, which is quite far back, in the RN-release-years time units.

Now React-native is 0.62.


You can also check out shadow-cljs which has great support for React Native development. I've been able to easily keep my project up to date with the latest React Native versions. Plus with shadow-cljs you also get access to all of npm in a very straight forward way.


i'm seconding this. not only react native version that re-natal supports is old but also the re-frame & reagent versions it supports are pretty old. shadow-cljs is really a good solution and you can pick it up for react-native projects too.


If you want to use this new Clojurescript workflow with React Native, check out Krell: https://github.com/vouch-opensource/krell
