Curl Inc.

Curl, Inc. is the company that develops and distributes commercial products built on the Curl language, a reflective object-oriented programming language for interactive web applications that grew out of research at the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science. Together with Curl International Corp., it sells a suite of products based on the results of that research: the Curl language itself, a development environment delivered as a plugin for the Eclipse platform, a runtime engine installed on the client machine that runs Curl applications under a security model, and several libraries supplied as source code. Use of the products requires a licence. The company is owned by SCSK Corporation, a majority-owned unit of Sumitomo Corporation, and the Curl website carries SCSK's corporate information. InfoWorld gave Curl its 2008 Technology of the Year award in the rich internet application category after reviewing version 6.0. English Wikipedia has no article of its own on the company, so this account rests on the article for the language and on the company's own product pages.
