Reagent (& Rum) are still IMO the state of the art in frontend web development: https://reagent-project.github.io/

You have to buy into ClojureScript though. Nothing wrong with ClojureScript per se, but adding a build step back in (plus the occasional transpilation weirdness) is pretty far afield from a native no-build JS system.

I’m not trying to say that Skruv is state of the art either, maybe it is, I don’t know. But using ClojureScript definitely raises the bar for who has the ability to use Reagent and who is willing to.

Yes, exactly. I did SPAs with ClojureScript for a while, but lately I've switched to server-side rendering with Rum. This post popped out at me since I've been thinking about options for adding interactivity to the front end without adding a build step.

I prefer re-frame over rum, but Reagent is amazing. So little churn over the life of the library is a great accomplishment.
