misc remarks WRT YAPC::EU
Leopold Toetsch
Powerbook G4 ran the presentation in Belfast. Thanks to Allison bringing
it with her and to TPF.
The speed comparison of b2.py was done with an unoptimized Parrot build.
Turning on --optimize gives 0.35s vs 0.6s (Parrot vs Python) on that
Powerbook.
A first patch enabling the pipe open on OS X is already in CVS.
Bernd "the vaxman" will have a look at Parrots VMS port.
A french teacher is using Parrot for teaching assembly language.
A guy from India (whos name I didn't get) is gonna doing his master
thesis on implementing Java on Parrot.
Thanks to all organizers of the conference,
leo

And he has a brand new Itanium OpenVMS machine which the perl community can
use for testing. Parrot and Perl5 smokes.
