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,[3] OS/2 and PC DOS. OS/2 version of IBM Object REXX is deeply integrated with SOM.[4]
On October 12, 2004, IBM released Object REXX as open source software,[5] giving rise to Open Object Rexx (ooREXX), now available for various operating systems: Linux, Solaris, Windows. This implementation includes a WSH Scripting Engine for Rexx. The released sources however didn't include significant piece of the SOM support.[6]
Object REXX supports multiple inheritance via the use of mixin classes.
