seesaw
A Clojure library and DSL for building user interfaces on top of Swing, making Swing development friendly and accessible.
What is seesaw?
Seesaw is a Clojure library that provides a functional, declarative interface for building graphical user interfaces on top of Java Swing. It solves the problem of Swing's verbose and object-oriented API by offering Clojure-friendly abstractions that make desktop application development more accessible to Clojure developers.
Clojure developers who need to build cross-platform desktop applications or want to create GUI tools without dealing directly with Swing's complexity.
Developers choose Seesaw because it provides a complete, well-documented DSL that makes Swing development feel native to Clojure, with features like widget binding, CSS-style selectors, and a unified event system that reduce boilerplate and improve productivity.
