Hoplon looks really interesting. It’s just that I don’t want to build a single page application, so it’s kind of moot to consider it, I guess.
I was planning to have a lot of server rendered pages in the app, not least to make the content accessible for search engine bots. For the dynamic UI parts I will definitely use React.js or some of the clojure “bindings” for it (Om, Reagent?). We'll see. Guys, thank you all for your comments!
