Line 59:
:::: ooRexx is an object-orientated language and has many language features (or extensions, if you will) that support o-o programming, and there are syntactical differences as well, not to mention that there are (Classic) REXX constructs, symbols, BIFs (built-in functions), and other syntactic sugars that aren't supported in ooRexx --- and of course, vice versa. It would be like comparing '''C''' and '''C++''' (I think --- I'm not an expert in either of those two languages). To answer your other question, there are no flags that allow any flavor of REXX to allow the other's syntax for functionality, although the Regina REXX interpreter has options to force strict ANSI compliance, and/or to allow various flavors of some (older) REXXes that were developed on different platforms (such as Arexx), and other such minor differences that were introduced in later versions. Most REXX flavors differ in what BIFs are supported. All modern (Classic) REXXes (that I know of) support almost all older REXX BIFs and syntax. There are always exceptions, of course. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 08:44, 25 July 2014 (UTC!
:::::WAY too much hassle about two (2) little i+=8 statements! All my programs under REXX (should) run under your classic REXXes. Nearly none of your programs can be run unchanged under ooRexx (due to these minor differences with @#§ and x=;) Yes, ooRexx is MUCH MORE than Rexx and when I use its features I put the code under ooRexx. i+=+8 is certainly not a reason to do so. --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 09:18, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
:::We're talking about _dialects_ here, I think. Should two dialects of one language have separate RC entries? My answer would be "certainly not!" Yes, I know there are separate entries here for Pascal and Delphi too, but there _shouldn't_ be. Ditto REXX and ooRexx and probably a host of others. IMHO, "Delphi" should be deleted as an entry, because it is just Pascal with Objects, like Extended Pascal and probably several other implementations of the ISO Pascal extensions. All this nit-picking over dialects is just plain unconstructive... --[[User:BlaiseP|BlaiseP]] ([[User talk:BlaiseP|talk]]) 09:36, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
