question regarding netRexx upcoming releases (?)

[Ramesh Venkitaswaran]

I've been using NetRexx for a short while and I like the language and
it seems to 'fit my brain' the right way.
However, I do have a question: Is there a roadmap that describes (a)
when a new release is coming out, if one is (b) and what are the new
planned features for that release.

I've googled for this and I'm unable to find any answers, and hence my
question to this list.

Thanks

None is planned at the moment, though there are persistent rumours of an
alternative OPen Source implementation.

Hmmm.... where does one begin to track that down?

Thank you, Mike.

Thanks for that update. Any particular reason(s) to why there are no
updates planned to the language?

I'm not saying that there won't be, one day -- just that I'm working 150%
of decimal-relating items at present.

Hi Mike,

I go back a long time, here on the list... If I may add a bit of wisdom that
I've learned over the years... "anything good is worth waiting for". NetRexx
has never let me done and when the day comesthat the compiler/interpreter is
GPL'd... well... that'll be frosting on the cake. Thanks, Mike... for all the
years effort you've put into my most favorite of programming languages.

Cheers.

Jerry

Hear, hear.   I would like to echo Jerry's sentiment.  It's an awesome
language and I have been having a good 'ol time using it.

Thanks Mike.

Thanks, all.  I just wish there were more than 24 hours in the day ... :-)

You could go to the metric day, 100 hours.

They go quick I hear. :)

Looking at https://scripting.dev.java.net/, I see various language
implementations for Java SE 6, but not NetRexx. Is there some
discussion on how NetRexx will work with JSR 223 ? I realize that
you're really busy, so this may be a something that'll get done in the
future.

Thanks.

I haven't even started looking at Java 5 yet (except BigDecimal)...
