132+
&emsp;&emsp;WinDiskWriter is developed in the <b>Objective-C</b> programming language to ensure <b>maximum backward compatibility</b> with older versions of macOS.<br>
133+
&emsp;&emsp;For building the interface, a custom solution was developed, which is an alternative to NSStackView, but for old operating systems.<br>
134+
&emsp;&emsp;The interface supports setting minimum and maximum widths and heights of elements, which would simply be impossible to implement through .xib or .storyboard.<br>
135+
&emsp;&emsp;The application <b>does not have any external dynamically-linked additional helpers</b>, so its functionality is guaranteed even if you run the application binary file separately.<br>
136+
&emsp;&emsp;Since WinDiskWriter was written in Objective-C, which is supported from the very first version of Mac OS X, the <b>size of the application is very small</b>, while it contains several architectures (x86_64 and ARM64).
137+
