JavaScript guesses. What a nightmare. Java acts like Python and will
forbid it on type grounds (at compile time with Java, being staticly
typed).
REXX -- where everything is considered a string until it needs to be
something else.
REXX-ooRexx_5.0.0(MT)_64-bit 6.05 23 Dec 2022
rexxtry.rex lets you interactively try REXX statements.
Each string is executed when you hit Enter.
Enter 'call tell' for a description of the features.
Go on - try a few... Enter 'exit' to end.
You missed the best REXX, Dennis.
ARexx for the amiga's. Bill Hawes wrote in a link to everything amigados
had and we wrote, in ARexx, stuff that Amigados didn't have starting
with a cron, a better cron than Paul Vixies. Worst, Bill never got a
dime from commode-door for the best language it had, We served our WDTV
web page with it in the middle 90's. Using ARexx and early php. Now its
farmed out and 99% commercial junk.
