I think the problem is that the people using React see the grand architecture in Relay / Falcor / Om.next, and are trying to recreate those API's using current libs. There are still a lot of parts missing when you try to build an app with the same abstractions as the aforementioned libraries, and I think the author is correct about 2016 being a year where those gaps are filled.

What we really need is a translation of om.next to javascript. That library summarizes all the good ideas from Netflix and Facebook into a small library for every day use. The fact that it's in Clojurescript makes it a non-starter for others, too bad because it's a really great eco-system.

edit, list technologies: React + Redux is a good start, but we need composable queries and a router (falcor) or reconciler (om.next) that manages data fetching / caching. JLongster has done some experimentation here with datascript integration https://github.com/jlongster/redux-experiments/blob/master/s...
