Our work has been supported through NSF RIA, NYI, ITR, and other grants.
ARPA/ONR
ARPA/ONR supported our work (as part of the SPIN project) on developing advanced compiler technology for safe systems programming languages, including staged dynamic compilation.

Edison Design Group
EDG donated source code to their C++ front-end, which we used as the base for our C++ front-end for our Vortex compiler.
Pure Software
Pure donated some of their development tools.
DEC Systems Research Center
We adapted the SRC Modula-3 compiler to become the Modula-3 front-end for our Vortex compiler.
