I'm no expert, but the arguments I have seen against Swing are almost always about the API, so they do not really apply to seesaw. The other arguments were about the non-native look, but I seem to remember that seesaw took care of that too. On Sunday, 4 May 2014, Timothy Baldridge wrote: > I hi

I highly recommend taking a look again at JavaFX2. The latest version (released as part of Java 8 or as a separate jar with Java 7) has a very unified API and is a joy to work with. I've been hacking on a library that provides a data centric API to JavaFX2. The cool thing is that most of it is sel

I'm a massive fan of Qt and have done a lot of Qt/QML in C++ in the past, but lately when I've needed to do a GUI (and could use Clojure), I've been making it Web based and using ClojureScript with Om. Since jetty/http-kit run nicely as embedded servers, you could have your application run locally

There's really no "only" way to do anything in Clojure, since you can always drop down to Java interop. So anything that's available to Java is available to Clojure, too. Not all the options have a nice Seesaw-like wrapper over it of course, but they're generally still quite usable. I do a reasonab

2014-05-04 Thread Cecil Westerhof
I am mostly a back-end writer. I dabbled a little with Scala before going to Clojure. (And more on the back-end as on the front-end.) But there was a discussion (I do not remember if it was on a Java or Scala newsgroup) that Swing was not the right interface for writing GUI's. I settled for QTJambi
