There are open source rexxes that should be compilable under PASE if you

If you have to compile it yourself, that already puts it below Python,
using Aaron's criteria for selection of PASE scripting languages. It
may or may not also then fall below Ruby, PHP, and Node.js (all of
which have already been compiled for you, but you have to jump through
other hoops to get them installed).

If Rexx really "fits your brain" much better than other languages, it
may be worth the extra hassle of getting it installed. But I'll bet
most people who know neither language, but do know SOME programming
language, would find Python more intuitive than Rexx anyway.
