Hi François, lua on parrot seems to have improved a lot, indeed. It's looking really good.
Some remarks: * is it possible to show the generated PIR? I can't get life.lua (included with lua distr.), and I'd like to see what's going on under the hood. * running (n)make fails for me on windows,as I don't have yapp installed. Running (n)make test won't work either (because of that) * if you need help with converting to PCT, let me know. kjs On Wed, Mar 19, 2008 at 4:44 PM, François Perrad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Parrot is a VM (virtual machine) designed specifically for running > dynamic languages in general, and Perl 6 in particular (see > http://www.parrotcode.org/). > Parrot is still in development, the latest monthly version is 0.6.0. > > A complete prototype of Lua 5.1 (aligned on 5.1.3) is available : > - an Lua interpreter written in PIR (Parrot Intermediate > Representation) that generates PIR > - a large subset of the Lua Standard Librairies (written in PIR) > - a test suite (more than 980 tests) > > For the first time, with Parrot 0.6.0, all garbage collection problems > seem to be fixed. > > Documentation starts in > > http://svn.perl.org/viewcvs/parrot/trunk/languages/lua/doc/running.pod?view=markup > and > > http://svn.perl.org/viewcvs/parrot/trunk/languages/lua/doc/status.pod?view=markup. > > Any comments, suggestions, bug report, test, improvement are welcome on > Parrot mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). > > François Perrad. > > > > >
