Playing with React

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)

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.)

$ npm install -g webpack
$ npm install
$ webpack --watch

# visit index.html in your browser

$ vi entry.js      # change something!

follow "the way", at least at first, see how it works.
- e.g. JSX, 6to5, webpack (JSX is a react thing, 6to5 & webpack are for sanity)
things to try
- build a tiny thingy ("profile badge")
- put it in a list
- sort the list
- filter the list
- 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
