reagent (which you'd put re-frame on top of) is what handles rendering (via React) when we're using re-frame, and is the library you can say does "UI as a pure function of state". re-frame is basically like redux (over-simplification) but for the CLJS ecosystem, focuses solely on state and how to mutate it.
