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:
“Treating ‘water’ as a name of a single scattered object is not intended to enable us to dispense with general terms and plurality of reference. Scatter is in fact an inconsequential detail.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
