Rexx is as easy as JavaScript or PHP, yet about as powerful as Java or Perl. Rexx is unique in that it combines power with ease of use. Long the dominant scripting language on mainframes, it is definitely a “power” language, yet it is also so easy to use that its popularity has expanded to every conceivable platform. Today Rexx developers use the language on Windows, Linux, Unix, BSD, Macs, mainframes and many dozens of other systems … and, there are many free and open source Rexx interpreters available.
