I've started copying some of the languages from https://svn.parrot.org/languages to Github. As part of the copy/migration I am breaking each language up into it's own stand-alone repository, and moving them all under the umbrella of the Parrot organization.
I am focusing my efforts right now on compilers which are based on "real" languages, and which seem to be in decent shape. Note that I am not attempting to build/test/use these compilers before I declare them "in good shape", it's mostly a quick visual inspection thing. The languages that I am planning to move now (* means I have already moved it), assuming they pass my "rigorous" visual inspection are: bf* c99* chitchat* ecmascript* forth* lisp lolcode ook pheme punie The languages json, pir, and pod have all been more or less replaced by more modern projects elsewhere in the ecosystem, so I am not planning to move these over without special request. The language "jako" doesn't appear to be following any existing language or spec. Without the original developer or somebody who is willing to carry the torch, there's no way this project is going to grow or be used. If somebody wants it, I would be happy to set up a git repo for you. The language "dotnet" doesn't look like it has received any love in a while, and I do not know it's current state. I won't move this without somebody expressing interest in it. The compiler "scheme" is a Scheme -> PASM compiler written in Perl5. With just a cursory examination of the generated code output, I don't think it will work with any Parrot post-2.0. I also will not move this language without somebody expressing interest in it. This is mostly a proof-of-concept migration to show that we can move from svn to git on github without any headaches. I am not planning to delete the languages repository or make it read-only or anything like that. If I've screwed up the migration in anyway, we can delete things on github and start over. --Andrew Whitworth _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
