well, that part exists. a proof of concept parrot to jvm translator stuff has already been done. As for full implementation well parrot's still er... changing. It's still being developed and so keeps changing pretty fast. I wouldn't go to translation at this time as it may be pretty hard to hit the forever changing target that's parrot now. I'm working on poring C to parrot. So that you can compile C programs into parrot assembly and have them work right off the bat. Once we get C across, it would b e pretty easy to port other languages and libraries to Parrot like Perl5.6, Ruby all of which have been built using standard C tools. (or so I hope ;-)). Anyway if you are intrested in it send me a line. Hey Hey.... wait a minute. There's this flashing big light bulb. Big idea coming up! O.K. This may be exceedingly stupid, but why not an assembly back to Parrot compiler. Howzaat. We wouldn't actually have to port C just the assembly stuff and voila' it just works. cheers, Ramesh > Hi All, > I am new to this parrot virtual machine aimed as > a common denominator for > perl and python.
