1) I see om/next attacking the same problems as falcor and relay, and david nolen makes reference to both of them (as sources of inspiration) in the talks he's given.

2) it may only hurt once a day/week once you have an established flow going, but when trying to figure things out & start things up, you restart a lot more than that. hence the barrier to entry

1. Going to look at the recent state of Om/next docs, I see that you're right. I don't think the earlier iterations of the project had quite the same focus but it's clearly been made a higher priority.

2. I think the barrier to starting a new project is unreasonably high, yes, and requires a highly inconvenient amount of configuration familiarity. Unfortunately the gap between just running the ClojureScript compiler on a single namespace file and actually configuring a viable project and build pipeline in Leiningen is quite large and really requires a concerted effort to overcome (or, to have someone nearby who's willing and able to show you what you're doing wrong).
