# Playing with React
Opinions/impressions coming later, when I have played with this more.
More opinions/impressions coming later, when I have played with this more.
## Impressions
* ES6 is quite cool, especially if you wrote just plain JS before (using
    [6to5](http://6to5.org))
    Some things: `import React from "react";`, template strings, `() => ...`,
* `webpack` is fun/convenient/surprisingly fast (and has support for
    all the things we use here, e.g. react/jsx, 6to5, css)
* JSX works well, even though I'd prefer doing it in Clojure (`hiccup`
    syntax, e.g. nested vectors & collections. has someone written a library
    for that already?)
* showdown, which was suggested by the tutorial, doesn't work with module
    loaders and it was a pain to figure out how to fix it. (the fix was
    using a different library.)
## How to run this thing
@@ -27,6 +42,7 @@ $ vi entry.js      # change something!
    - make the filter dynamic (optional/difficult)
* in the future:
    - try out immutable.js & reimplement the above
    - try out `css-layout` and/or `styles` in js
