    If it wasn't for Linux, I'd probably still be programming in REXX.

    There is NetRexx and Open Object Rexx.

  2. Open Object Rexx by dashley · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Grad Student Looking To Contribute To Open Source

    Perhaps you might be interested in a smaller project where the number of developers is also small, but quite open to new blood. All of the current developers would be very happy to get you started with the ooRexx project. The source code is mostly C++ and we do not use templates, mainly because we have no need of them for our requirements.

    ooRexx is an interpreter for multiple platforms and has a very interesting math library. All interpreter calculations are done in floating decimal, not binary. The current library supports most typical math functions (add, subtract, divide, multiply, remainder) but it lack higher order functions such as trig functions.

    If this sounds interesting to you feel free to use the contact list at http://www.oorexx.org/contact.html to email one of us and we can get you started or supply you with more information.

    I also loved rexx and still do. IBM Released Rexx open source and it is now available for almost all platforms. I run it all the time under linux. I do miss some of the direct system calls but all the queue functions are there. http://www.oorexx.org/

  4. Object Rexx has been opened sourced by cwills · · Score: 3, Informative · on Keeping the OS/2 Flame Alive

    A while back, IBM released ObjectRexx to the opensource world. The OORexx project is hosted on Sourceforge http://oorexx.org/ It runs just fine under Linux, and can be used as a straight scripting language for shell scripts.

    And its not the stuffy old version that came with OS/2 either, it's the more modern ObjectREXX. Enjoy.

    Yes it is called ooRexx (there is another version called roo), has all the above and is open source available from http://www.oorexx.org/

    I'd also contend that you are not up to date ;-) ooRexx; the Open Object Rexx project made its first public release on March 25, 2005. See the ooRexx home page for details of the release and the status regarding an OS/2 release of ooRexx.
