The VM/CMS compiler remains the only one I've heard of as well. No
comments have reached us about its performance. It would be a major
project to produce a decent item, and several statements might never
be implemented (eg. INTERPRET) successfully.

It is certainly something I'd like to see ;  I find Rexx very easy
to program in, and I have solved a few tricky problems with it which
would require programs several times the size in most other languages.
The only gripe is speed  :-).
