I'm still using Swing in 2022. Change my mind!
Why not seesaw?

Clojure GUI or front-end - what are the options?
seesaw is still viable and runs on swing, which will run everywhere, probably forever. It's a bit closer to the underlying event model than the react style rendering in cljfx.

What is the most pleasant way to write a portable GUI in CL?
I think the IUP bindings are really worth a try: https://github.com/lispnik/iup/ Overview of it (and others): https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/gui.html I quickly tried it and it worked as expected. The only difficulty is to learn the framework: how to assemble the GUI parts (where to put the scrollbar?) and this sort of things. Given the author it should be pretty much dynamic (as much as Ltk) but might not be there yet. It will, given more users and demand.
