I think Swing is a non-goal of this project. It provides good interop with the DOM and core JS methods, and it makes it easy to create your own interop for JS apis that aren't in the core.

There are at least two GUI toolkits that run on TeaVM: 1. Codename One. Similar to swing, but focused on mobile https://www.codenameone.com 2. SnapKit. Targeted at desktop. Also a light-weight toolkit, like Swing. https://github.com/reportmill/SnapKit

It could work though by drawing to canvas.

That's what Avalonia does in C#: https://avaloniaui.net/

Here's a clone of Visual Basic 6 written with Avalonia and compiled to WebAssembly:
