Graphical toolkit is EFLs from http://enlightenment.org (Enlightenment Foundation Libraries) and is written in C. The application itself is written in OCaml and uses the ocaml-efl bindings ( https://forge.ocamlcore.org/projects/ocaml-efl/ ; https://github.com/axiles/ocaml-efl ). Why: - Qt isn't friendly for cross-compilation to Windows (it's expressly stated to be "user supported", i.e. it breaks all the time) and is more difficult to use from statically-compiled languages that aren't C++ (the core of the application was already written). - The choice of EFLs happened before the recent GTK+ updates and improvements so there was little question there. - EFLs' windows port is not perfect but actively maintained and quickly fixed when issues are found (mostly because all developers are supposed to keep it working, not only a couple ones).
