I've got a drop in replacement for all of those environments bar SDSF with Lua and I'll add multi-threaded programming, HTTP, websockets, XML, JSON, SOAP, regular expressions and a whole lot more. In a z/OS UNIX environment luaposix http://luaposix.github.io/luaposix/docs/index.html covers a lot more than USS REXX. The killer punch is that Lua executes at speeds that REXX can only dream of. Did I mention closures, functional programming, OO etc,etc.
Runs perfectly on z/OS and will be available soon.
