Appcelator is mobile start-up , found 9\06 , that aimed to develop open source framework for developing mobile “native” apps with only knowledge of html , css & js ( e.g. : Compiling it to obj-c or java ).

Aptana that was founded about year later , became very popular by two products - Aptana ( standalone & plug-in for Eclipse ) + RadRails.
