No need to juggle platform SDKs

Marmalade is based on a patented 'single-binary' architecture that removes virtually all dependencies on the OS platform SDKs and toolchains.

So you can make your own choice of development system (Windows or Mac) and IDE, and can target all supported platforms from within that choice.

No need to master multiple languages

Web developers can use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, together with the standard PhoneGap APIs, to target both iOS and Android simultaneously. You don’t need to learn Objective-C, and you don’t need to learn Java.

C++ developers can leverage all the power of C/C++, including STL and the standard libraries. Again, you don’t need to learn Objective-C, and you don’t need to learn Java. What’s more, your code is fully compiled to the CPU for maximum possible performance. And the app binary itself is identical ARM (or x86) instructions across all devices sharing that architecture – a very pure form of binary portability.
