Hydra is an application framework that allows developers to create modular applications that can mix managed (.NET) and unmanaged ("native" Delphi and Island) code in the same project, creating a seamless user experience while combining the best technologies available from either platform. Hydra bridges the gap between the worlds of unmanaged Delphi code and the Microsoft .NET and Silverlight platforms by letting developers integrate the platforms seamlessly within the same application – whether by reusing Delphi code in new .NET applications or extending exiting Delphi VCL apps with new parts created in .NET, Silverlight or FireMonkey.
