REXX is a good scripting language for many things. I wrote a lot of
REXX scripts when I was working for IBM. Much easier than doing the
same thing in compiled languages such as C.

Even after leaving IBM I used it quite extensively on OS/2. But it is
one of the many languages I unfortunately have not kept up on over the
years.
