It is programmed in Python, though Iā€™m not sure which GUI library, I would like to know that too.

Jon has also mentioned in the past that the GUI toolkit is custom-built. He codenamed it ā€œHydraā€. Back in 2010 he announced he would make a post on the technology underlying Sublime Text, but I have the feeling ST2 snowballed on him :slight_smile: Maybe heā€™ll find time to write about the ST3 implementation some day, but it will be hard to keep up with the codenameā€™s coolness. For the extremely curious, you might be able to dig up a longish forum post of his on character rendering.

Still planning to! Iā€™ve got it in my mind to do it after 2.0 is released.

I thought it was because with the windows version, there is evidence that py2exe has been used.
