refs are not the highest performance reference type due to transactional semantics. ClojureScript already has efficient mutability in the form of atoms and transients. You can actually build a transient vector faster than you can build a mutable JavaScript array in recent builds of V8. I actually demo'ed this at JSConf. Fun stuff.

Which JSConf was it? US 2014? Tried to find a video of this talk of yours, no luck so far.
