Applause is a domain-specific language and a set of code-generators to produce mobile applications for iPhone, Android, Windows Phone and a mobile website on top of Google App Engine. It tightly integrates with Eclipse and comes with IDE support such as error checking, content assist.
Applause is not a web framework, a cross-compiler nor is it an interpreter. Instead, it uses a simple input language explicitly designed for data-driven mobile applications to produce human-readable source code in Objective-C, Java, C# or Python.
Have a look at this screencast or try out a generated live-demo (minimal website) to see it in action.
Even though you can build simple mobile applications with this open-source version of Applause, the code you are looking at is far from being a real product ;)
