With NetRexx you can develop Java applications fast and easily. For example, consider the simplest application that says "Hello!" to the world. Compare the two chuncks of code:
Java/* This is Hello.java */ class Hello { public static void main(String[] arg) { System.out.println("Hello! World."); } } |
NetRexx/* This is Hello.nrx */ say 'Hello! World.' -- -- -- -- |

If you need to get data from the standard input stream, code remains simple. This program asks your name and answers politely:
Java/* This is HelloYou.java */ import java.io.IOException; class HelloYou { // This is a comment public static void main(String[] arg) { String name = ""; System.out.println("Who are you?"); try { byte[] answer = new byte[30]; int len = System.in.read(answer); name = new String(answer,0,len); } catch(IOException e) { name = "exception"; } System.out.println("Hello! "+name); } } |
NetRexx/* This is HelloYou.nrx */ say "Who are you?" -- This is a comment name=ask SAY 'Hello!' Name -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- |
