A good alternative to GWT for Clojure

Tags:

gwt

I am writing a webapp in Clojure.

I almost want to use Google Web Toolkit for the frontend -- since I can just write Clojure/Java code, and have the library automatically generate the Javascript/AJAX.

However, for some reason, GWT does not sem to be used much in the real world.

Is there something that is similarly tied into Java (like GWT is) but more popular?

Thanks!

GWT is used in the real world!!! A lot! And google is doing some pretty huge things with it so I don't think popularity is a valid concern.

I don't want to start a flame war so I won't elaborate any more on this.

Also, remember that GWT is a java - javascript compiler. No bytecode will run on the client. Hence, you can only use java, not clojure code when writing client-side code.
