My vote is for Swing. Despite its flaws, it's the Java standard - there's no need to worry about compatibility (SWT) or licensing (Jambi) issues, and there's a wealth of material online to study it further. It's included with Java, which is a huge plus in a tutorial setting - personally, I'd be very turned off if I had to download and configure an additional library just to follow the examples in a book. And a lot more programmers are going to be familiar with Swing than any of the others.
Plus, in 15 pages, you're not going to be able to cover any reasonable amount of any library, so really, the library itself doesn't matter as much. What's more important is showing how to use Clojure to interact with Java in a variety of more complex UI scenarios, which Swing offers. Once those concepts are grasped, the actual library is immaterial. Just my two cents. -Luke On Nov 4, 10:32 am, Stuart Halloway <stuart.hallo...@gmail.com> wrote: > For the book would people rather see Swing or Qt Jambi examples? Or > something else?
