why not use Electron?
A few days ago I gave a talk at the Clojure Meetup Berlin about building GUIs with Clojure and JavaFX.

Here is the abstract:

Building declarative GUIs with Clojure, JavaFX and fn-fx (Dr. Nils Blum-Oeste)

JavaFX is the current standard GUI framework included in most Java distributions and the successor to Swing. It is readily available via interop to any Clojure developer. I would like to give an introduction to an alternative approach using halgari/fn-fx: A thin Clojure wrapper around JavaFX by Timothy Baldrige that allows building GUIs declaratively from a single application state atom instead of dealing with the mutable JavaFX objects directly.

You can download the PDF slides here or check them out below:

Let me know if you have any questions or need any help with Clojure, JavaFX or related things.

Cheers

Nils
