I've been using the Reagent library for all my web UI's and it's simply incredible. I desparately want to translate this same workflow to iOS.
I'm a huge fan of React Native, but it's just not the same writing it in Javascript vs. using ClojureScript/Reagent. With the Javascript React Native workflow you're still forced to include npm modules to do basic enumerations, and the technical debt added to your codebase because of JSX is really painful.
Since Reagent components turn into React functions it seems like you should be able to write React Native apps in ClojureScript/Reagent and solve all these problems. I just don't even know how to start setting that up. Can I just use the regular CLJS compiler to save a javascript file and run it on the iPhone? Is there a tutorial or really simple example of the clojurescript to react-native workflow somewhere that you know of? If you wanted to learn more about this stuff where would you recommend starting?
