1) Yes. But I'm not telling. :-P

2) Keen! I usually find myself turning back to C, but I figure that's just the universe being amusingly perverse at my expense.

3) I don't think the speed increases will, in and of themselves, lead to Cool New Things, but rather (along with the native calling interface) allow people to write less C code. While paradoxically making it easier for them to write C that interfaces to parrot if they want.

The bit that'll change how perl's used is more due to language changes in perl 6 making B&D style programming easier (which many people do like in larger projects) and easier integration with other languages running on parrot.
