Hi Sam,

I recently tried integrating Google's Polymer <http://polymer-project.org/> web
component library with clojurescript. You *can't* use it with Om (or at
least I couldn't) because it uses React's prescribed HTML tags
<https://github.com/swannodette/om/blob/master/src/om/dom.clj#L4>.
Freactive is another Clojurescript / React library where you *can* use
Polymer. As far as I can tell, that's because inserting a node is done directly
on the DOM
<https://github.com/aaronc/freactive/blob/master/src/clojure/freactive/dom.cljs#L651>.
That's all to say that "*web components*" are still new ground, being
fleshed out in Clojurescript and React.

There is a way to have your own custom "*web components*" with React. You
just need to i) create those web components (shadow dom and all) and
register them with React proper. It looks like that's what Material UI
<http://material-ui.com/> is trying to do. So in theory, yes you should be
able to use it with Om, Reagent, Freactive, etc.

Material UI looks very much like what I currently need (marrying web
components and clojurescript / react). I wish I had known about it last
month. So not having used it at all, I can't say that it's ready for
production. Their own github site
<https://github.com/callemall/material-ui#material-ui> describes it as a
"work in progress".  So I would just experiment with it for now.
