Description:
Open Object Rexx is an object-oriented scripting language. The language is designed for both beginners and experienced Rexx programmers. It is easy to learn and use, and provides an excellent vehicle to enter the world of object-oriented programming without much effort.

It extends the procedural way of Rexx programming with object-oriented features that allow you to gradually change your programming style as you learn more about objects.




Some personal observations:

Rexx has been in use since 1979, and transitioned through many different platforms, from the original mainframe implementation (where it still lives), to Amiga, OS/2, AIX, Windows and Linux. I've been using it daily in Linux servers for at least a decade, and OS/2 before that.

This package is based on the latest stable release, and has been tweaked to avoid some of the pitfalls of the official RPMs, like fixed directories for classes, a reworked optimized SPEC and a working init script (the original seems to hang sometimes). This package has been thoroughly tested in the last few months and could be a nice addition.
