I didn't know if this should be an UPDATE or if it should be a new node... I decided to go for the choice I felt was safer. So, all of those things being said (thank you matts, tilly, etc...) My next question automatically is... why is Parrot itself not being implemented in something like Java? Is it as simple as: "we don't want to, and it would be slow?" Because if that's the case, I think that following the parrot implementation in Java may be a *wonderfully* fun project for someone to undertake...
