Weex & Rax by Alibaba - Alternative & compatible ReactJS/ReactNative JavaScript Frameworks

Not long ago, Alibaba open sourced two intriguing projects that may interest the ClojureScript community as well. Here are some links:

Weex - Build web & Mobile Android, iOS Native Apps with JavaScript / by Alibaba (alternative to ReactNative & NativeScript)

@JiyinYiyong [https://twitter.com/jiyinyiyong] has a great coverage of "Weex Conf 2017" where Weex, Rax, ReactJS, ReactNative stuff been presented: https://medium.com/@jiyinyiyong/my-day-in-weex-conf-2017-90258ba0fc51

With rax using the same ReactJS API (like Inferno as well), all the ReactJS wrappers (OmNext, Reagent, Rum, Quisc) may be interested into using rax that is smaller, faster with server-side rendering support but mos importantly providing native deployment/packaging for iOS & Android over Weex (instead of ReactNative) ...

I've also created a Twitter list that may be useful for those watching this space: https://twitter.com/Jaguard/lists/weex
