# New Ticket Created by Jerome Quelin # Please include the string: [perl #19610] # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. # <URL: http://rt.perl.org/rt2/Ticket/Display.html?id=19610 > Thanks to our dear summarizer, I'm now known (from a googlism point of view) as 'one of the "let's implement a bunch of languages on parrot" crew'. So, in order to prove him right definitely (and also because orang-utans should also benefit from Parrot's speed), here's a new language supported by Parrot: the Ook! language. For the unlucky who don't know it, Ook! is essentially isomorphic to the well-known brainfsck language. Refer to http://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/ook.html for more details. Ok, about this implementation: - this is a compiler (and not an interpreter) that spits Parrot assembly code (yes, I'm targeting Parrot). - it implements every Ook! instruction but the "Ook. Ook!" one. I'll work on it later. - currently I'm just printing on stdout the resulting parrot code, I lack an eval instruction in Parrot. Dan, Leo? :-) Disclaimer: it's all of Nicholas Clark's fault. Really. He's the one to take the blame for it.
