Current restrictions


The NetRexx processor is now functionally complete, though work continues on usability and performance improvements. As of this version there are still a number of restrictions, listed below.

Please note that the presence of an item in this section is not a commitment to remove a restriction in some future update; NetRexx enhancements are dependent on on-going research, your feedback, and available resources. You should treat this list as a 'wish-list' (and please send in your wishes).

The following restrictions are due to the use of a translator, and would probably only be lifted if a direct-to-bytecodes NetRexx compiler were built.
