Nope. It's CPython + QT. But then again, it's totally possible to write in Python in such way that users will think it's written in Java :) The package they provide embeds its own copy of libssl (version 1.0 with multiple known vulnerabilities), QT 4 (ditto), and libpython3 (version 3.3, ditto) so I would advise against using this particular utility for any reason.
