I really would love to help out, but parrot is far over my head at this point since I have the barest understanding of C. I should point out that I have decided to learn C/C++ and have picked up a copy of Thinking in C++ to help me get started with a low-level language. It has a good thick chapter on the C you need to know C++ too. :-) Once I know C I can help out with parrot development.

Would perusing the parrot sources be helpful to me in my quest to learn C? If so, I can kill two birds with one stone (pun intended :-)
