Platform Heritage and Direction

REXX has deep mainframe roots, and cREXX keeps that history in view.

The project direction is to remain portable across contemporary desktop and server platforms while preserving interest in historically important REXX environments where practical.

Why This Matters

• REXX was born in an environment where usability and directness mattered.
• cREXX should keep that spirit even as the implementation becomes more modern.
• Portability pressure helps keep the system honest about assumptions.
• Historical platform work is valuable context, but it should not be confused with current release support.
