EGL (programming language)

EGL (Enterprise Generation Language) is a programming technology designed to meet the challenges of modern (at the time of its design), multi-platform application development by providing a common language and programming model across languages, frameworks, and runtime platforms. Originally developed by IBM, it was later donated to the Eclipse Software Foundation and maintained as the EDT (EGL Development Tools) open source project under the Eclipse Public License (EPL). The project was proposed for termination in 2014 due to insufficient activity in the previous two years, and was effectively archived in 2017 .
