hello! i have website! it is https://selenotropic.neocities.org/!

It's a super simple plain HTML dealy a funky little React site to collate all the work I do an contact links and such. It also features an occasionally-updated blog and a selection of electronic literature I like.. Check it out! Look at my stuff if you like!

i just rewrote this whole guy in Clojurescript + Reagent + CSS and added a section for curating electronic literature I come across during my thesis research so there has never been a better time to look at my website. i'm not quite done fiddling - particularly i need to go look at react-router so i can save state in the URL for linking directly to blog posts and such but! it is fully functional, fancy, and speedy.

(side note: JS is JS, it's fine and does the thing and React is neat, but Clojurescript + Reagent? Wonderful. Fantastic languages, ideal webdev experience.)

in reply to @voidmoth's post:

yeah! React is pretty fast in general (and for a tiny resource-light site like this, it's way faster to swap state than load HTML files), but the funniest thing is that Clojurescript's React interop library Reagent is apparently faster than native React. i'm not sure of the specifics but it has to do with Clojure being so functional and immutable which lets you skip a lot of the intermediate checking React does with JS.
