“ActiveState, the leader in open source programming tools,
announces the release of Komodo 1.0, the first Mozilla application
by a third party. Komodo is a Perl and Python integrated
development environment for programming using the Mozilla
application framework. A full-featured, multi-language IDE, its
timesaving features include integrated online help and an
interactive remote debugger. Komodo also includes the only one of
its kind, regular expression toolkit, for one of the most difficult
technologies used in scripting languages.”

“Komodo is the first commercial grade IDE for Perl and Python,
and it’s cross-platform as well”, said Dick Hardt, Founder &
CEO, ActiveState. “Mozilla’s component oriented framework will
allow us to easily add support for additional languages and
features throughout the coming months.”

“Mozilla is ideally suited for cross-platform Web-based
development. This makes it a natural fit for ActiveState’s powerful
new IDE, Komodo,” said Mitchell Baker, chief lizard wrangler at
mozilla.org. “Perl, Python and JavaScript developers will find
Komodo a wonderful tool for using Mozilla for Web services
development.”
