How about just a single languages/OTHER or some such (maybe in doc/

There are more and more projects that are targeting parrot.

Hi all,
I am returning to the topic of search_lex. I ask to be excused because
this is another "I need this op" mail, but I think the feature I request
here has merit for other languages as well...
In my case my "problem" (challenge) is that I want to generate some
parrot code that is capable of

That's certainly the idea.

If you're asking if you can, in general, count on statement level timely

Hi,
I am writing a parrot compiler back-end for my very own computer language
personality disorder: Comal (see http://www.josvisser.nl/opencomal). I do
this purely for its therapeutical value :-)
Parrot is currently far from finished. A lot of things work really well
but in other corners work is
Is the destruction going to be timely enough for
IO::File->new(">foo")->print("foo\n");
print `cat foo`;

Hi there
In short I'm contemplating using parrot as a backend for MosML.
I have no experience with parrot and I can see parrot is not a
finished project, so before I venture into this I would like some

than myself. What concerns m

a synchronous garbage collector, right?
So, the garbage collector (or DoD for that matter) will run

Just to be sure people are keeping it in mind, I'll repost this from Larry:

Nevermind. I didn't consider that a compiler set up -Dflag
as flag=1.

When I install and use an exception handler for the second time Parrot
dumps. It looks like the "set_eh" messes up the sub object in P10
because when I uncomment the second newsub it works...
Is this a behaviour of the hidden invoke (of the exception handler) that
I am unaware of?

In theory that issue should only occur to the JIT_CAPABLE
