I think ClojureScript + Reagent does.

definitely try clojure. try clojurescript with shadow-cljs and reagent as well!

Take a look at Reagent (ClojureScript library) for a breath of fresh air and simplicity.

Clojure & ClojureScript (over React)

Nice to see a full Clojure stack! React based? If so, which library did you go with? Nice work!

What's the recommended stack for doing front end development with clojure these days?

bpicolo Nov 8, 2016 View on HN

Clojurescript with re-frame is great.

Do you have any links/resources for using React with ClojureScript?

Clojure is a very pleasant language to develop in. I have found it easier to develop a JavaFX-UI program in Clojure than in Java.If you want to go the route of running a server on the user's machine and serving it through the user's browser, ClojureScript and Reagent/Re-Frame are excellent choices. Re-Frame, https://github.com/Day8/re-frame, in particular has very nice document
