It gets more interesting!

Factual | About Us

Factual was founded in 2007 by Gil Elbaz, co-founder of Applied Semantics (which launched ASI’s AdSense product). Applied Semantics was acquired by Google in 2003...

And that was the tool that made Google's profit engine so effective!

Clearly, they are very knowledgeable... 

And apparently, they are using Clojure... 

tool: React | JavaScript UI without DOM

React | A JavaScript library for building user interfaces: by Facebook



"JUST THE UI

Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project


VIRTUAL DOM 

React uses a virtual DOM diff implementation for ultra-high performance. It can also render on the server using Node.js — no heavy browser DOM required."

DATA FLOW
React implements one-way reactive data flow which reduces boilerplate and is easier to reason about than traditional data binding."

Even more interesting is a ClojureScript wrapper for React, "om",

that is apparently twice FASTER, thanks to immutable nature of ClojureScript.

Reminds me of "SOA" recently, and ISO/OSI a while back...

A "brute force" approach, because "it is time".

Luckily, in today's connected world, a good simple ideas and solutions may still win, over complex and expensive systems....
