=========
Rationale
=========
This document defines the rationale of the project. It also explains the philosophy it follows, which shapes the path it follows and justifies the choices it takes.
Why it started
==============
Femtokit was born as an alternative to the advanced, somewhat comfortable to use, aesthetically pleasant, and very common user interface toolkits: GTK and Qt. While these toolkits work and do their job decently (except when they don't) I find it unnecessary to also bundle them with a lot of other libraries that have nothing to do with user interfaces just because such libraries are commonly used when developing desktop programs with user interfaces (commonly called "applications).
