Only thing I need to know before I can start is: what would the purpose be
of a Lua to Parrot compiler? Lua is originally an embedded language for
easy-scripting, as far as I understand. How could it be used when targeted
to parrot? Would it be possible to call functions written in Lua (and which
are then compiled to parrot) from (for example) a python script? (So: python
script calls function writtenin Lua and compiled to parrot).
If you follow the calling conventions, then yes you'll be able to
call python/ruby/perl/befunge routines from Lua code, and vice versa.

I like the idea, and I don't think you'll see anyone else tackle it
for a while. (And if that falls through, there's always LISP... :)
