My experience with Clojurescript has been the opposite. React, on which most idiomatic CLJS is based (Om, Reagent), is such a moving target that Clojurescript is now years behind the curve. There was a lot of initial momentum under David Nolen's stewardship but that seems to have faded. React now has hooks and form but Reagent is basically the same as when it first appeared.

I keep seeing this line of reasoning that ClojureScript/Reagent somehow slipped behind React because of "hooks" and "form" (form is a new complaint actually, haven't heard before), but I'm failing to understand what hooks could give us in Reagent-land that we don't already have?

With that said, you can still use React hooks via Reagent if you want to, it's described over here: https://github.com/reagent-project/reagent/blob/master/doc/R...

Aren't hooks default in reagent now? Or at least, wasn't there a move in that direction a few months back?

Personally, I use reagent (with re-frame) and the only times I need to do JS interop is when using JS libraries (which shadow-cljs has made easy -- I know that Clojurescript has better support now too, but I've not used it because I was already a shadow-cljs user).
