ooRexx (aka Open Object Rexx) is an object oriented successor of 'Classic' Rexx
(another one is NetRexx). Both Open Object Rexx and NetRexx were created by IBM and are now,
open sourced, maintained by the [http://www.rexxla.org/ Rexx Language Association].
 
ooRexx can be used to run many programs shown here in the [[REXX]] category.
 
We are in the process of documenting the incompatibilies and shall publish them soon.
See http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code:Village_Pump/Dialects#REXX.2C_ooRexx.2C_and_others
Notablefor differences are:.
* The use of some 'special' characters such as '''<tt>@</tt>''', '''<tt>#</tt>''' and '''<tt>$</tt>''' in symbols. (These symbols were deprecated some time before 1990 when '''<tt>?</tt>''', '''<tt>!</tt>''' and '''<tt>_</tt>''' were introduced as acceptable alternatives.)
* Use of '''<tt>a=;</tt>''' instead of '''<tt>a=<nowiki>''</nowiki>;</tt>''' or '''<tt>a="";</tt>'''
The 24 game under REXX was meanwhile adapted so that it can be played with ooRexx.
