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

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