As I've just picked up on Clojure myself. First of all I was wondering if anyone was using the Qt's Jambi bindings for GUIs ? I'm just delving into the details of how Swing is implemented at the moment, can't say I agree with half of the "design" decisions myself. Swing isn't thread safe, although AWT is to my knowledge, and that feels wrong considering the how great Clojure handles concurrency. Perhaps a Clojure library bound to AWT directly would be a worthwhile side-project, thus eliminating Swing completely. It would be nice to get rid of the weakest link.
