Very cool to see my master's project here on hn! Let me give you some background information. The idea for 7GUIs was born while I was writing my master's thesis Comparison of Object-Oriented and Functional Programming for GUI Development[1]. My advisor and I first agreed to compare Java7/Swing and Clojure/Seesaw. That's the reason why you see these implementations in the repository. Over the course of writing the thesis we changed the scope to compare JavaFX in Java and Scala as well as some novel FRP-inspired frameworks and all that with a GUI _programming_ usability benchmark which I named 7GUIs. I received great input from my expert reviewers, especially Tomas Mikula[2]. Anyway, 7GUIs is work in progress although nowadays I have much less time to work on it (not studying anymore but working). Not all implementations are complete (e.g. Android/Elm) and I'm sure the existing ones can be improved. So I'd be very happy if others would help to extend 7GUIs with more implementations or analyses. I still want to try out other approaches myself and compare them with 7GUIs but again time is limited sadly. You can find much more information in the thesis[1] if you're interested. I've also written a short overview blog post[3] that deals with Reactive GUI Programming.
