[array_key_first]

React has fundamental problems that lead to both:

- horrible performance characteristics

- needless complexity

These are not tradeoffs, these are bugs. We don't gain anything from them.

That's why React introduced a compiler. Because problem 1 is a big deal. But it's not a code problem, it's a React problem. Other tools simply do not have that bug. Which is why the exact same react code can be compiled and run much faster.

You haven't described those "fundamental problems" that you call bugs, but I think these are irrelevant for me from a ClojureScript point of view. As an example, immutable data structures mean that equality comparisons are cheap and I can often avoid re-computing and re-rendering huge parts of the tree.

More importantly, I don't have a React performance problem. I don't really need "much faster".

Sure, but ultimately you're using a library with performance bugs that lead to orders of magnitude more rendering than necessary.

If you don't mind the buggy software, that's fine. It's still buggy.
