Consider this just a prototype :) It's parsed with a slightly hacked version of Parse::RecDescent, and then compiled into parrot assembler using Perl 5. As such, its really slow. Don't fret though. The real perl6 compiler will probably be written in pasm or C, and parsed with perl6 grammar; it will be really fast.

As for objects - like Elian said, not even close. After Larry issues his proclamation from on high about the syntax in Apoc 6, several things will need to be done. First, code needs to be added to the grammar to support objects. Next, a node definition will need to be added, and then a tree representation defined. Finally, a compilition method to convert the tree representation to parrot bytecode needs to be added to the compiler itself. Also, subroutine functionality needs to be completed before methods can work.

If you'd like to help with any of this, you should contact Sean O'Rouke (known to frequent perl6-internals), the brain behind this monster :)
