Interesting to see another cross-platform GUI library here, but if the source is unavailable for inspection, then it is difficult to trust from a developer and user's perspective. Thus, it is equivalent to a malware library.

The same could be said about any closed source library, including the ones that ship with the macOS and Windows SDKs. There's no need to bash this particular project and sow doubt that it contains malware.

"I wish sources were available so I could understand more about the code I would be linking into my application, like I can with GTK and Qt."

As many drivers are also closed they are equivalent to malware library.

IOS and Windows are both malware libraries which continuously upload stuff you don't know about to their servers.
