^ A vision for Parrot
54862 [occitan espe] this morning it struck me that it would be nice to have Parrot not only run Perl 6 and similar byte code, but that any of the common interpreted languages be compiled to this same byte code.
+ 54864 [claird laird] This thought inspired enthusiasm in others long ago--from

| | 55146 [lvirden yaho] Each script would need to be done in a seperate safe interpreter which
