IBM Releases Object Rexx as Open Source

IBM Releases Object Rexx as Open Source

For some reason REXX has a special place in my heart. I've only used it on my Amiga about a million years ago, but each time I see a reference to the language sigh and think back...

Anyway to get off the Way Back Train, it seems IBM is releasing their Object Rexx as open source. The Open Object REXX SourceForge site is up, but not much is there yet.

Something for me to monitor in the coming months.

On a similar note, I find it interesting how companies are releasing their old/low revenue/low volume products are OSS.... I wonder if we'll see MS Bob released as OSS? :|
