It would likely base the piddle object on Parrot's internal datatypes like IntvalArray or FloatvalArray, which (then) already provide all the low-level ops to do the desired operation. No XS, no loadable ops (which is C code too), no compiler needed to use PDL. E.g. $piddle->raw_data could be an IntvalArray. Perl6's hyper ops work with that as well as overloaded PDLs ops (though I know nothing about PDL internals). leo
