I think it may be a good idea to wait until the Parrot folks have their

Thanks to everyone for their information on Parrot. A couple more questions
have come to mind.
1) Does Parrot support multiple inheritance?
2) Does Parrot support stack variables or is everything allocated on the
heap?
Thanks again.

From what I've seen, supporting both garbage collection and true stack
variables is a difficult task.
Why is that?

I believe the main difficulty comes from heading into uncharted waters.
For
example, once you've decided to make garbage collection optional, what
does
the following line of code mean?
delete x;
If the above code is compiled to Parrot, it probably equivalent to
x-~Destructor();

This changes the way a programmer writes code. A C++ class
and function that uses the class looks like this:
class A
{
public:
A(){...grab some resources...}
~A(){...release the resources...}
}
void f()
{
A a;
... use a's resources ...
}
...looks like this

This is exactly the right way to do things in Java. In Java, you
can open hundreds of files, and never trigger any gc, since each
file object is very small. Unless you explicit close file, you
will be dead very quickly.
Although your point is taken, I think in this case it is the programmer

Will Parrot support templates (also known as generics)?
Will Parrot support operator overloading?
Do Parrot classes have constructors and destructors?

If you mean like C++ templates, then the answer is that it's up to the

[Brent's answered some of these already, but I'll fill in the blanks.
Also some of the answers presume a fully-implemented engine, which we
don't have yet]
