In a nutshell, it uses a different event model. As far as I
understand, FranTk allows you to describe the user interface by
combining behaviours, which are either continuous behaviours or
discrete events.

HTk is a wee bit less abstract and only has Events, which you can
synchronise on, but on the other hand you are less constrained, since
you can put any IO action into your events, and you have full control
of the concurrency of your interface; you can have as many or little
threads as you want.
