What does GLFW acronym stand for? http://www.glfw.org/ is the main website, but I cannot find any clue there. Evenhere on SO it has a tag but in the description the acronym is not explained.
What does GLFW acronym stand for?
I'm going to take a stab at it and say Graphics Library Framework –

Actually, the GL portion is for OpenGL. The W is for Window. I'm guessing the F is for Free, but I could be off on the F. Regardless, the library is for facilitating the mixture of OpenGL with a Window context. –

Apparently, it used to stand for OpenGL FrameWork--link. I think I prefer some of the alternative interpretations given on the wiki, though.
That link is broken now. –

Wikipedia states "Graphics Library Framework". This makes sense, as GLFW is no longer an OpenGL focuses library, but also supports Vulkan.
