Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Mike Anderson will be talking about Convex (https://convex.world/)

[ANN] London Clojurians Talk: Lisp for Lattice Technology (by Mike Anderson)
Convex (https://convex.world/) is a new decentralised network based on lattice technology - a promising alternative to blockchain based solutions. Best of all it runs a new dialect of Lisp, heaving influenced by Clojure and Racket. The session will include an introduction to both lattice technology and programming smart contracts with Convex Lisp.

Is Clojure the only language you need?
So you can see, there are really a lot of choices but none of them dominates, which means they all have flaws. You can read a good article from Niki Tonsky where Clojure UI problems are discussed. Also to address the problems Niki Tonsky started the development of a new UI for Clojure, called Humble UI. So now we have one more option :)

So you're using a weird language
If you don't mind being stuck on Windows you could use Visual C# or Visual Basic, they have edit-and-continue too. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/edit... I've worked with the SuperTux C# level editor in the past. C# was actually pretty nice for GUI stuff.
There doesn't seem to be a good GUI framework for Clojure. There was Seesaw but it hasn't been updated since 2019. There is a guy developing a new framework https://github.com/HumbleUI/HumbleUI/ but it's WIP. I guess you could sidestep this by making it a webapp and using figwheel.

Ask HN: Does Java need a modern Java UI toolkit for desktop/web?
Nikita Prokopov is developing Humble UI which is worth keeping a close eye on. (Yes, it's Clojure, but Java interop is bound to emerge if it builds up a critical mass and catches on.)

The Decline and Fall of Java on the Desktop Part 1 (1999-2005)
I've made a few desktop apps in https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx (e.g., https://www.chronos-desk.com/), and cljfx (JavaFX + Clojure) is amazing and makes for rapid development, not to mention fun. I'm keeping an eye on https://github.com/HumbleUI/HumbleUI, which promises to be a step up.
What are some alternatives?
membrane - A Simple UI Library That Runs Anywhere
teavm - Compiles Java bytecode to JavaScript, WebAssembly and C
repl-acement - A Clojure coding tool
editors - provide upgraded replacements for Clojure editor infrastructure
cljfx - Declarative, functional and extensible wrapper of JavaFX inspired by better parts of react and re-frame
skija - Java bindings for Skia
jdeploy - Developer friendly desktop deployment tool
warp - Create self-contained single binary applications
ClojureDart - Clojure dialect for Flutter and Dart
FlatLaf - FlatLaf - Swing Look and Feel (with Darcula/IntelliJ themes support)
