No other VM that I know of (Java, Python, .NET, etc.) takes that approach. Should the burden of proof should be reversed? Is there benefit in having them be opcodes rather than just objects with methods like anything else? Also, are file ops and network ops really fundamental? Might not parrot be used in embedded environments with no such concept? Paul Prescod
