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:
“Perchance the time will come when every house even will have not only its sleeping-rooms, and dining-room, and talking-room or parlor, but its thinking-room also, and the architects will put it into their plans. Let it be furnished and ornamented with whatever conduces to serious and creative thought. I should not object to the holy water, or any other simple symbol, if it were consecrated by the imagination of the worshipers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
