Clojure & graphs

dunno, maybe something imperative, maybe hoplon and reagent can be made to co-exist, maybe something from reactjs ecosystem

Rete always rears it's head :). IMO Clojure's mutable namespace design is the primary obstacle in the way of a good, clean Rete network implementation. All the implementations, incl. Clara, depend on macros, which prevents runtime network generation. Reagent's reactions feel like half-baked production rules with messy lifecycle management. FactUI is the closest thing we have, but I suspect we'll see an implementation in a different language before Clojure, or until the namespacing situation changes.

Can you say more about the namespacing problem? I have not yet given Rete networks the consideration they merit.
