RemObjects Software

RemObjects Software is an American software company founded in 2002 by Alessandro Federici and Marc Hoffman. It makes tools and libraries for software developers on several platforms, including Embarcadero Delphi, the .NET Framework, Mono and Apple's Xcode. Its first product was RemObjects SDK 1.0 for Delphi, a remoting solution, followed in 2003 by Data Abstract, a multi-tier database framework. The company is best known for its Oxygene language, first released as Chrome in 2005, which was the first shipping language for .NET to support generics. Later work widened this into the Elements compiler, which supports Oxygene, C# and Swift code targeting .NET, the Java platform, Android and native Cocoa. Carlo Kok, who joined in 2004, became its Chief Compiler Architect, and in 2008 the firm worked with Embarcadero Technologies to ship Oxygene as Delphi Prism.
