Hi there,

I recently heard about parrot project , and it was impressive giving one
neutral runtime environment for ruby ,perl, python......
but my question how to really do that?
for example can i design first part of the program in ruby and remaining
in perl?
or simply i can run programs written in ruby, perl , python in parrot
itself instead of their respective interpreters?

Howdy Magimai,

Welcome!

The answer is "it is really hard." Even so, Parrot aims to support all dynamic languages on our lovely VM.

Most people want to support just one language, but a few of us enjoy the idea of the Parrot being the translator at the Tower of Babel, allowing some project to have parts written in various languages, all running on Parrot.

We want to allow languages to inter-operate and to allow libraries to be used across multiple languages.

If you would like to help or just learn more, let me know how I can guide you in the right direction.

Do you have specific questions about specific languages?

Duke
