Why the name "re-frame"?

[binarykitchen]

Hello everyone,

After many years of React & Redux, I still come back and still dig re-frame very much, the big idea of data loop.
And totally miss the homoiconic way of Lisp.

Anyway, out of curiousness, what makes you name this wonderful library "re-frame" when that's not mentioned in the documentation?

My guess, it's about re-framing the next state after the last step of the data loop? If so, it is correct to say, states do need reframing or so?

It is a shortening of "reagent framework", with the twist of also being a new way of thinking (which it was at the time of original creation)

Thanks. Interesting. I'm looking for new naming ideas ...

Feels like reagent is more about chemistry with reactions, while state is put in an atom.
Pretend there were no "reagent framework" at that time, how else would you have named this cool project today?
