What is The Difference Between REXX And Objective-C, Programming Languages
REXX is an Interpreted Programming Language, while Objective-C is a Compiled Programming Language
What are Interpreted Programming Languages
An interpreted language is a programming language for which most of its implementations execute instructions directly, without previously compiling a program into machine-language instructions. The interpreter executes the program directly, translating each statement into a sequence of one or more subroutines already compiled into machine code. (Wikipedia)
What are Compiled Programming Languages
A compiled language is a programming language whose implementations are typically compilers (translators that generate machine code from source code), and not interpreters (step-by-step executors of source code, where no pre-runtime translation takes place). (Wikipedia)
While REXX is an Interpreted Programming Language, and Objective-C is a Compiled Programming Language
Let us now look at the difference between the two:
What is REXX Programming Language – A brief synopsis
Short for Restructured Extended Executor, REXX is an interpreted language developed by IBM. It was designed with an intent to be an easily learnable and readable language. NetRexx is the IBM’s implementation of REXX that offers object-oriented programming. Object REXX is an object-oriented scripting language that is based on REXX.
What is Objective-C Programming Language – A brief synopsis
It is a reflective object-oriented programming language that adds messaging services to C.
