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:
“A CAUSE is an object precedent and contiguous to another, and so united with it that the idea of the one determines the mind to form the idea of the other, and the impression of the one to form a more lively idea of the other.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
