I've only messed around with Lua for a few hours though, and it was several months ago, but the Lua language seems to be pretty similar to python. Really, there's a ton of overlap between the various "high level" languages that parrot wants to support. Maybe we could put together a generic code generator that everyone could use? Obviously, it would have to be set up so you could override the parts for each language, but it shouldn't be too terribly hard. What do you think? Want to try squishing pirate/python and pirate/lua together? :) Sincerely, Michal J Wallace Sabren Enterprises, Inc. ------------------------------------- contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] hosting: http://www.cornerhost.com/ my site: http://www.withoutane.com/ --------------------------------------
