I think, Parrot is good for evolutionary reason. The world has never seen a vm specifically designed for dynamic language. And with all those new sparkling features in Perl 6, Parrot people will have to design the ultimate vm for dynamic language. Therefore, if Parrot fails, it will become a very good learning process. But if it succeeds, I'm sure it will become a reference implementation for future vm's, and we will surely learn a lot from it.

I wish the best of luck for the Parrot people. I'd like to help but I haven't got time yet.
