Not yet, I've been dying to dig into this for months but now just getting some time to do so. I'm rewriting my blog with lots of cool technologies like this and going to open-source it and write up about it. http://jlongster.com/

Just wanted to add my support with this - I am using React+Fluxxor+ampersand-collections, and I find myself simply rebuilding the collections on every change (and disabling their add/remove/set/reset functions) to keep them immutable and speed `shouldComponentUpdate`, but I would rather be using mori.

When you use something like mori, but you need to define data transforms, such as float precision, derived attributes, and so on, how do you make that work well in your apps without too much complexity in your components? One thing I really enjoy about ampersand-state and ampersand-collection (forks of Backbone) is that I can define very simple, standard functions per model so that my views don't have to have any idea what was passed to them. How would that be possible in Mori? Do you use something like a `__type` attribute so an external utility can suss out what the object is and transform it correctly?

I'm not familiar with ampersand-collection, so I don't exactly understand your questions, but I think you're also farther along than I am researching this. I can't give a good answer yet as I'm just starting to play around with integrating mori.

I don't know what you mean by "derived attributes", or why it would be difficult to do data transformations on the models that deal with mori data structures. It'd be great to discuss this somewhere, maybe on #reactjs IRC? I'm jlongster there.

Cool, I'll keep an eye out. Any reason to use React+Mori over Om other than more familiarity with JavaScript??

There is a huge amount of JavaScript developers that can't jump to ClojureScript. I love CLJS, but I have a heart for the amount of JS projects out there that can't take advantage of these techniques. It's really important that we borrow from good research and make it available to JS so that existing projects can begin integrating them, because most of them will not jump to a completely different language.
