Yes, it has been a long time. But in the spirit of this list, can anyone
point me to papers on the web about the design and implementation plans
for the Parrot VM (the new VM to unify Perl, Python, Java, and others). I
have found the Parrot FAQ and the opcode description, but neither really
tell me what I am looking for. I am interested in the design, the
tradeoffs, the choices they made. Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you. :)
