Oxygene (programming Language)
Oxygene (formerly known as Chrome) is a programming language developed by RemObjects Software for Microsoft's Common Language Infrastructure and the Java Platform. Oxygene is Object Pascal-based, but also has influences from C#, Eiffel, Java, F# and other languages.
Compared to the now deprecated Delphi.NET, Oxygene does not emphasize total backward compatibility, but is designed to be a "reinvention" of the language, be a good citizen on the managed development platforms, and leverage all the features and technologies provided by the .NET and Java runtimes.
Oxygene offers full integration into Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 as a commercial product, and a freely available command line compiler.
Starting 2008, RemObjects Software has licensed its compiler and IDE technology to Embarcadero to be used in their Embarcadero Prism product. Starting in the Fall of 2011, Oxygene is available in two separate editions, with the second edition adding support for the Java and Android runtimes.
