Just for yux, let's look at the history of REXX (from my best sources
anyway.)
1979 Mike Cowlishaw begins a "single man enterprise" with hundreds of
IBM'ers contributing.
1983 REXX became THE Command Language for VM/CMS
1987 REXX becomes IBM's SAA Procedures Language
1988 MVS environment supports REXX
1989 IBM announces the CMS REXX compiler (Developed by IBM Vienna
Software Development Lab)
IBM announces REXX for OS/2 and OS/400
