I'm glad you pointed this out. That's way mal-informed for how you'd build that DOM in clojurescript. I mean, you _could_ do it that way, but there are libraries (like hiccup) that make it more natural.

Here's an example of a react component from the re-agent tutorial (http://reagent-project.github.io/), e.g., but you'd build straight html in the same-ish way using a library:

  (defn simple-component []
    [:div
      [:p "I am a component!"]
      [:p.someclass
        "I have " [:strong "bold"]
        [:span {:style {:color "red"}} " and red "] "text."]])

The point wasn't to show how to build HTML fragments, the point was to show javascript interop.

You could create a nice wrapper-library around anything in any-language, really, but that misses the entire point of that example: to show how interoperability is when you haven't wrapped a nice wrapper-library around everything.
