ObjectREXX

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,[1] OS/2 and PC DOS.

On October 12, 2004, IBM released the Microsoft Windows and Linux versions of Object REXX as open source software but stripped the the OS/2 source code from the tree, meaning that if people want to port the package back to OS/2, it will have have to recreate the port from scratch.
