I didn't write jiraph, but in terms of the layers you can just put everything in the same layer if you want. That's what I'm doing. Splitting to multiple layers seems like more of a performance optimization if it works for you, rather than a constraint. > It would be nice if you could translate my borneo graph example into jiraph. > Both are clojure libs so we could compare it in terms of both syntax and > design of the graph.
