Work in progress! The idea of this library is to provide some idioms for functional reactive
## Overview
The goal of this library is to provide some idioms for functional reactive
programming based on Clojure's already existing `deref`, `swap!` and `reset!` programming based on Clojure's already existing `deref`, `swap!` and `reset!`
patterns. functions. Currently there are reactive `atom`, `rx` (reactive expressions or computations), `lens`
and `cursor` types.
I started this library when I needed to write a fairly
large Clojure project in JavaFX (using my own [fx-clj](https://github.com/aaronc/fx-clj/)).
I was aware of [Om](https://github.com/swannodette/om) and [Reagent](https://github.com/reagent-project/reagent)
and figured I could create something along those lines by creating reactive atoms (as in Reagent) that interacted with JavaFX.
As I was doing this, I realized that a library with the same API could be created in ClojureScript and that also,
a DOM library with a similar API to the JavaFX library could be created.
Example: Example:
```clj ```clj
