# Technology
Textadept is composed of many different technologies, which are briefly listed
in the following sections.
## User Interface
Textadept's user interface consists of a graphical user interface (GUI) and a
terminal user interface (TUI).
=[GTK+][] - GIMP Toolkit=
Textadept uses GTK as its cross-platform GUI toolkit.
=[ncurses][], [pdcurses][] - Libraries for displaying terminal applications=
Textadept uses ncurses as its Linux, MacOSX, and BSD terminal UI, and uses
pdcurses as its Windows terminal UI.
=[gtDialog][]\* - Cross-platform tool for creating interactive dialogs=
Textadept uses gtDialog for displaying interactive GUI and TUI dialogs.
=[cdk][] - Widget library for terminal applications=
Textadept uses cdk for drawing terminal UI widgets.
=[curses-windowman][] - Library to manage split views in curses applications=
Textadept uses curses-windowman for handling split views in the terminal
version.
=[libtermkey][] - Library for processing keyboard entry for terminal apps=
Textadept uses libtermkey for advanced keyboard entry handling.
## Editor
Textadept's core text editing component is Scintilla.
=[Scintilla][] - Scintilla=
Textadept uses Scintilla as its core text editing component.
=[Scinterm][]\* - Scintilla for curses=
Textadept uses Scinterm as its core text editing component for the terminal
version.
=[Scintillua][]\* - Dynamic Lua LPeg Lexers for Scintilla=
Textadept uses Scintillua and its lexers for highlighting source code.
## Scripting
Textadept uses Lua as its scripting language. The editor is primarily written in
Lua and includes a few external libraries.
=[Lua][] - Lua Programming Language=
Textadept uses Lua as its internal scripting language. Most of Textadept is
written in Lua.
=[LuaJIT][] - Just in Time Compiler for Lua=
Textadept optionally uses LuaJIT as a substitute for vanilla Lua.
=[LPeg][] - Parsing Expression Grammars for Lua=
Textadept uses LPeg in its Scintillua lexers.
=[LuaFileSystem][] - Library for accessing directories and file attributes=
Textadept uses LFS for accessing the host filesystem.
=[lspawn][]\* - Lua module for spawning processes=
Textadept uses lspawn for spawning asynchronous processes.
