<cite>REXX &nbsp; (REstructured eXtended eXecutor) &nbsp; is an interpreted programming language which was developed at IBM. &nbsp; &nbsp; It is a structured high-level programming language which was designed to be both easy to learn and easy to read. &nbsp; &nbsp; Both proprietary and open source interpreters for REXX are available on a wide range of computing platforms, &nbsp; and compilers are available for IBM mainframes.</cite>

* '''[[wp:ARexx|ARexx]]''' &nbsp; is a classic REXX implementation (with extensions) for the AmigaOS, &nbsp; given in bundle since AmigaOS 2. &nbsp; (Regina REXX has specific support for the extended functions that were introduced in ARexx.) &nbsp; ARexx was written in 1987 by William S. Hawes.
