It sounds like all we really need is a single clojure thread which
handles all access to Swing/AWT/Whatever. Since an additional
complaint is that Swing is too imperative, it sounds like both
problems could easily be solved at once.
I'd personally like for the declarations to be done using

Thank you very much for such an expansive response. Currently a thread-safe
Swing alternative is using the Jambi bindings for Qt. I neglected to provide
a link to details before so here it is:

Apologies Colin... I'll just say I was a victim of Trolltech marketing,
that wasn't the impression I got.

Hmm? Qt isn't really any more threadsafe than Swing is, or than GTK+
is:
Allegedly gnome-java is threadsafe, but it only works on Linux,
unfortunately.

I still don't really see why a multi-threaded UI framework is
important. You can have a multiple threads use Swing's
invokeLater(Runnable r) api to submit UI work. And since Clojure fns
implement Runnable, you can just post fns
Yes, I'm very interested in this question as well. I'm learning
clojure and its my first attempt at functional programming. And I was
thinking of writing a swing GUI program to try it out. But it would
seem the GUI state is going to be a mass of mutable state which

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

I spent a few hours writing a macro that would allow a more
declarative gui than the usual swing approach. I didn't finish it, but
concluded that this could be quite doable. For example, I was aiming

Personally I've always had a through dislike for Swing, and now I'm
