Rules, like regexes, are essentially language neutral. So that's

I'm glad to report the soon-to-be-released Pugs 6.2.11 now targets
Parrot with the new calling convention and lexical pad syntax.
However, the explicit demand on a "newclosure" runtime call makes
package-scoped subroutines awkward to generate and use -- please see
this journal entry for details:
(More brain dump.)
"Context" is implemented as type coercion calls, implicitly inserted
by the compiler.
There are five types used in these calls. The "..." below denote
the positions where these contexts typically occur, using common
Perl 5 operations as examples:
Void # ...;
This is a brain-dump of how container types and contexts work in the
new Pugs runcore.
Assuming everything other than an explicit method call is subject to
MMD, we have this desugaring:
# Sugared syntax
${$x} = 5;
# Desugared syntax
&infix:<=>(&circumfix:<${ }>($x), 5);

Indeed. It's fortunate that there is a split('', $string) form. ;-)
Empty rules are now an error in Pugs. Thanks for the correction!

have a way to bind Parrot symbols as Pugs symbols.
Feel free to write up tests in t/ -- maybe t/embed/ -- on how you think
it should behave. Alternately, come to irc.freenode.net #perl6 and
chat a bit on how you plan to use it; posting p6c is fine too.

Indeed. Somehow I think this makes some sense:
