The REXX programming language is already available for all Java runtimes (including z/OS) in the form of NetRexx: http://www.netrexx.org NetRexx already exploits whatever JIT optimizations are available, including the new and unique Pause-Less Garbage Collection on IBM z14 with Java 8 SR5 and z/OS. NetRexx was born at IBM Hursley in 1995 at the hands of REXX's father, Mike Cowlishaw. It is the world's first alternative language for JVMs. The REXX Language Association's members and contributors actively maintain NetRexx. The latest release as I write this is Version 3.05 (April 27, 2017), and the Version 3.06 beta was released on April 28, 2017. Mike is still actively involved in the NetRexx community. Please enjoy (and contribute). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
