None of those are relevant to what REXX does best. Again, it's the plumbing,
not the syntactic sugar.
As to large applications, I believe that there are some pretty big ones in Perl
and REXX, so why should I be surprised by large applications in, e.g., Python,
Ruby?

Wow... The Eloi and Morlocks will thank you for using Lua.

Indeed. Lua supports TSO, ISPF, CICS, IMS, the full MVS file system
including VSAM. DB2 SQL + a SQLite API. A date/time
Gil, I don't follow what you mean about multi-line strings. I know you can't
mean this, which REXX handles just fine:
Longstr='blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah',
'blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah'
And your second wish is surely not significantly different from:
"LA LA LA LA...!"
Ok, truthfully, I keep meaning to dig out PL/1 and start using it again.
Someday. But I do adore REXX. I wrote in CLIST for years, but one day (back
in the '80s, it was) encountered a warning from IBM threatening someday to stop
supporting CLIST and to make REXX the
I do something similar, although rarely. When I need to load a table and it
seems to make sense that the data be hardcoded in the code -- which after
all is pretty seldom -- sometimes I do this:
/* TBLBGN (usually at the end of the program):
name1 value1
name2 value2
name3

All,
SLES15 SP3 has now been released. The full announcement is at
https://www.suse.com/c/introducing-suse-linux-enterprise-15-sp3/ The
ISO images are available at https://www.suse.com/download/ or via your
SUSE Customer Center (SCC) account.
It's not a question of what environment it can run in; it's a question of what
facilities it supports in those environments.

Maybe. But I can't think of an environment that REXX runs in that Lua
can't. I could port Python to run
No problems, and no equivalent to facilities that REXX has had from day one.

Lua ports to TSO/MVS just fine with no changes because it uses fopen().
All I had to do was add "dd:lua(%s)" to package.lua and it just worked.

The problem is that those "more modern" languages don't support the close
integration of scripts to applications that REXX supports.

When someone ports OOREXX to z/OS and adds TSO support.
Never going to happen. I ported ooRexx to z/OS UNIX over a decade ago
and getting it to work in TSO is a heavy lift. It doesn't use fopen() so
needs a lot of patching to work with MVS data
