Can I get a quick show of hands for the folks working on Parrot, even

don't want to admit to it publically. :)

I'm actually somewhat surprised at how little Parrot is tied to Perl.
Most of the active developers seem to be working on parrot for its
merits as a VM. Perl6, for me at least, mostly provides evidence that
this isn't just an exercise in intellectual masturbation, as Simon
would say -- there will
Or at least I can't get it going. Fixing it's a project for the

more)

I've no clue whether I agree or not. OT1H, given its origins from the
bosom of Perl, Parrot is surprisingly independent. OTOH, compare where
