First dynamic language? Seen on the Amiga in1985, but I developed with it on the IBM AS/400 in 1990.

fdrake

1987–1990

Interesting scripting language for big iron; kinda glad it didn't take off so much on other platforms.

1988–1992

Used this with the VM messaging system to set up a system for VM users to automatically fetch their datasets from the MVS mainframe, even if they were offline in HSM.

Wrote numerous desktop tools while working for Siemens using this. The OS/2 and OS/2 Warp days...

thumper

1995–1996

Used in my first real job on OS/2. VX-REXX for visual rexx, oh what fun.

I used ARexx (Amiga Rexx)to automate the process of comic-strips translation. Great language and in retrospect was a great warm-up for Python.
