ooRexx is a project maintained by the Rexx Language Association (RexxLA), which was created back in 2004 when IBM donated the source code to Object Rexx to them, with the blessings of the original REXX creator, Mike Cowlishaw. It is also purported to be fully ANSI X3.274-1996 compliant.

In some ways, you could say it's "the original".

so maybe just like a clone of Matthias Eckermann's publication? Please contact him - I know his actual tasks need some releaf somewhere, so maybe you are a good successor regarding rexx..

Perhaps we should create a devel:languages:rexx subcategory with all the variants in one place?

Why not, we then only would need some "fillers" from community for the subdirectories there - a practical problem, I guess.

Great.

Which is the base - there are at least two or three implementations "on the market". regina which is already supported by Matthias Eckermann in buildservice,

home:/mge1512:/programming/

, and brexx which is supported by a greek CERN member, but still not in buildservice:

Yes, I've seen his build, unfortunately it's pretty outdated. I actually deal with ooRexx on a daily basis as part of my work and need updated packages, if that qualifies for anything. If it can be useful for someone, I'm willing to take it.

Please get in touch with Matthias about this - I am relating on his works in many aspects. ;-))

Regarding the variants, well there's opensource to you. Regina has its own following, but never seen anyone using brexx for real. I can only vouch for the package I'm proposing.

Surely. Focussedness is the heart of the game. Each mind is more than one eye, but the power of the individual is that behind both eyes together. Maybe some other "world dominance" agile individual here will have a look upon brexx?
