Ha! Good luck with that. If I tried that, I'd probably get a divorce for Christmas :)

Clojure's wonderful. Give it a try if you get a chance. :)

I hope you find something useful. When I started Seesaw, I spent some time studying Monkeybars for ideas to steal. :)

Among other things, Seesaw 1.3 will hopefully have friendlier support for pulling in UIs laid out with UI builders (NetBeans, the Google one in Eclipse, etc).

If you want to get a feel for the Seesaw API, I recently wrote an interactive tutorial: https://gist.github.com/1441520
Good stuff. I'm not sure if this is an improvement, but it's a nice piece of trivia... your status range checks can be reduced a bit:

    (and (>= status 200) (< status 300))
becomes:

    (<= 200 status 299)
Go Clojure.
