As René mentioned already, ooRexx has full introspection. As ooRexx is compatible with REXX (one can use ooRexx to run REXX programs that do not use any of the new features of ooRexx) it is interesting how the Object REXX developers at IBM handled that.
In 2007 I did some musings with introspection and came up with an ooRexx program that uses OpenOffice calc (the spreadsheet) to format the results of introspecting ooRexx for Windows itself (using ooRexx means). Here the results <https://wi.wu.ac.at/rgf/rexx/misc/refCard/ooRexx-3-2-0-Windows-Class-Reference.pdf>. BTW it also documents those classes that allow for and classes that employ multiple inheritance, another very useful feature of ooRexx. ooRexx comes with a set of documentations in form of PDF books. The reference (rexxref.pdf) is probably the most professional and complete (around 900 pages) documentation for any open source software, reason being, that it is based on the original IBM documentation, created with professional technical writers. There is also a PDF book introducing REXX and ooRexx to newcomers, something David and his „youngsters“ may be interested in. —-rony Rony G.
