Well, then, time to pitch in! :)
Seriously, Parrot's at a state where a not inconsiderable chunk of
perl 6 (and perl 5) can be implemented. We have scalars, arrays,
hashes, simple I/O, and global variables. While there's some stuff we
don't have yet (namely the specialized regex code, stream filters,
lexicals, objects, and subroutines) we have more than enough to do
much of perl 6. (Even regexes, if you don't mind doing it the slower
way to start)
We're looking for folks to work on the first cut perl 6 parser over
on perl6-internals. All you need is a good knowledge of perl 5 (which
is our first cut implementation language) and a willingness to dig
through the Apocalypses and Exegeses. (Well, that and not minding the
first version likely getting tossed out when we do the final
implementation... :)
