  • React

    The library for web and native user interfaces.

  • I was unaware that GitHub's language metrics are moved to the bottom of the page on mobile, so I added a short note to the README stating that Owlkettle is written in Nim.

    I have only used Elm briefly, but as far as I know, a major part of the Elm architecture is the usage of an Msg type which facilitates the communication between the view and the controller (https://guide.elm-lang.org/architecture/). Owlkettle does not require you to use this pattern.

    Owlkettle is declarative because the GUI is automatically updated when the widget state changes. In this way it is similar to web frameworks such as React or Mithril.js. React also uses the term "declarative" to describe this behavior (https://reactjs.org/).
