Well, let me focus on that one thing. If I can define a class as a cluster of data values and/or subroutines, and instantiate objects in that class, then isn't that "object-oriented" even if it doesn't have any features to define inheritance from other classes? You may think it's a pretty feat

Sounds like more than just an interpreted language, then. But I'm a little confused why (for instance) they include VBScript in that list. What functions does it have that make it dynamic? Not, since you're busy, that I care VERY much. Just mildly curious. Explain if you want, but otherwise, tha

Hi Bob, being a little bit under time pressure (setting up the tutorials) just a hint: . (Note it is missing Rexx or ooRexx in the list of dynamic languages, probably because the authors have never heard of it. Also some of the liste

I'm curious what "dynamic" means in this context. All I can think of so far is "frequently changing", but that doesn't seem to fit; it sounds like you mean something much more specific, rather as "object-oriented" means a very particular thing in coding. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, ce

The 35th International Rexx Symposium in Brisbane, Australia, is about to start with tutorials this Sunday (tomorrow), March 3rd. There are tutorials on ooRexx and the ooRexx-Java bridge (no need to learn the Java syntax, BTW!) on Sunday. One can use these infrastructures in Linux installments
