The Object REXX programming language is an object-oriented scripting language initially produced by IBM for OS/2. It is a follow-on to and a significant extension of the "Classic Rexx" language originally created for the CMS component of VM/SP and later ported to MVS, OS/2 and PC DOS.
On October 12, 2004, IBM released Object REXX as open source software, giving rise to Open Object Rexx, now available for various operating systems: Linux, Solaris, Windows. This implementation includes a WSH Scripting Engine for Rexx.
Object REXX supports multiple inheritance via the use of mixin classes.
Famous quotes containing the word object:
“The history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations ... all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
