NetRexx is a dialect of the REXX programming language to run on the Java virtual machine. It supports a classic REXX syntax, with no reserved keywords, along with considerable additions to support object-oriented programming in a manner compatible with Java's object model, yet can be used as both a compiled and an interpreted language, with an option of using only data types native to the JVM or the NetRexx runtime package. Originally from IBM, NetRexx is the creation of Mike Cowlishaw, the 'Father of Rexx'. This IBM product has been open sourced in 2011.

Features

  • Part of the Rexx family of languages

User Reviews

  • NetRexx is the best Language and the best Compiler I've ever seen in my own - quite long - EDP and IT History. I am working since 1964 in IT, starting as a student at the technical university here in Vienna, shortly called TU, and then at IBM as a volunteer programming in RPG I, and then PL/I. Concurrently, I did start at GEISCO (General Electric Information Services Company) on their Mark I System, using BASIC, and then the successor of Mark I, named Mark III, programming there in Fortran 77. There I have been the Author of EURO:LOGOS, an SQL-like Database INQUIRY-langauage, and of EURO:ARCHIV, somewhat a predecessor of SVN and Git, as well. Ok, before I do tell You my whole IT-Experience, I would like to stop for now. Give NetRexx (see www.Netrexx.org) a try. It does generate Java Code, as well as allowing You to use any Java class. It is, essentially, a blend of Rexx (see www.RexxLA.org) and and Java, (see www.NetRexx.org) and has been invented by Mike F. Cowlishaw, the father of 'classic Rexx', as well, a former IBM employee. Kind regards, Thomas.Schneider@thsitc.com
