-[[:about-enlightenment|Enlightenment]] started as a project to build a Window
Manager for X11. That was way back in 1996. It has grown much since. It still
produces this Window Manager, but it has evolved to also cover Mobile, Wearable
and TV UI needs for projects such as [[http://www.tizen.org|Tizen]] as well as
the traditional "desktop" UI. We still push out releases, so see our

-In the process of developing a Window Manager, A set of libraries were
developed in order to achieve that goal. These libraries are known collectively
as [[:about-efl|EFL]]. They cover a range of functionality from main-loop, to
graphics, scene graphs, networking, widgets, data storage, IPC and much more.

-We now are starting to pull in bindings support directly into EFL. We are
working on having bindings auto-generated for %%C++%%, Lua and Javascript
(v8/node.js). We also would like to pull in our Python bindings in the future
so we can support as many languages as possible and keep them up to date.
