As René mentioned already, ooRexx has full introspection. As ooRexx is
compatible with REXX (one can use ooRexx to run REXX programs that do not use
any of the new features of ooRexx) it is interesting how the Object REXX
developers at IBM handled that.
In 2007 I did some musings with introspection and came up with an ooRexx program that
uses OpenOffice calc (the spreadsheet) to format the results of introspecting ooRexx
for Windows itself (using ooRexx means). Here the results
<https://wi.wu.ac.at/rgf/rexx/misc/refCard/ooRexx-3-2-0-Windows-Class-Reference.pdf>.
BTW it also documents those classes that allow for and classes that employ multiple
inheritance, another very useful feature of ooRexx.
ooRexx comes with a set of documentations in form of PDF books. The reference
(rexxref.pdf) is probably the most professional and complete (around 900 pages)
documentation for any open source software, reason being, that it is based on
the original IBM documentation, created with professional technical writers.
There is also a PDF book introducing REXX and ooRexx to newcomers, something
David and his „youngsters“ may be interested in.
The youngsters I work with are in their 30s ;)

Does REXX (any implementation other than the JVM) have introspection
capabilities? I suspect not as the only type is a string.

Sent to both IBM-MAIN and TSO-REXX
Is there any available routine / function package that a z/OS TSO Rexx program
can use like the oorexx function SysDumpVariables for debugging purposes?
I have looked through the CBT File001 descriptions and looked at both Mark
Zelden and Lionel Dyck's pages but found nothing like this available. My
google-fu has failed me as well, nothing but the oorexx function turns up in
any of my searches.
TIA for any pointer or RTFM you can provide.
