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 reasonable amount of Swing work without Seesaw, mostly because it takes a while to start up, but Seesaw has a lovely API if that's not such an issue for you. Swing is generally a fine option, if you look at IntelliJ you'll see it's possible to make it quite pretty and functional, although it's a lot of work to get to that stage.
Other options are QTJambi or SWT - I don't know anything about Pivot and the demos didn't work for me either in Firefox or Safari but it looks like that might be an option too. JavaFX may also be an option, although I don't know much about it. Or you can go for more esoteric options like embedding Chromium in a native app wrapper and use ClojureScript, which is what LightTable and other projects do. It really depends on your requirements, but the above are all viable options. Cheers, Colin On 4 May 2014 19:33, Cecil Westerhof <cldwester...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am mostly a back-end writer.
