IBM Open Sources REXX. I suppose it'd be an overshare to mention that at one point I was involved in writing a Mandelbrot set generator in REXX?

I've ported a shopping cart and catalog system from REXX to Perl. This was because a client was hosting his online store with a guy who was running his web server on an ISDN line in his basement. The server ran OS/2 (this was in 1999) and the scripting was in REXX with all path names hard-coded. The port to Perl was easier than trying to deal with the path name changes because Perl automatically handles the \ to / conversion between OS/2/DOS/WINX and Unix.

That's Mandelbrot.
And no, it would just make us set up a PayPal Tip Jar for your therapy. :-)

Yea Rexx!
PARSE VAR is the greatest string parsing convention I've ever seen. At one point, I was responsible for batch systems built in REXX; 25,000+ lines of REXX.
