in thread Perl 6 and trend towards web-based applications

Will it be possile to write Parrot Applets that would run in a web browser ?

Yes. There is even an embedded version of Parrot that runs under Apache. It's called, surprisingly enough, mod_parrot. http://perl.com ran an article on it last month. (Or am I misunderstanding what you are asking?)

update: Added the sentence after "Yes" and the question at the end.

    Maybe not, but I interpreted it to mean something different - namely, whether it will be possible to run client-side Parrot code as embedded objects within the browser itself, as is now possible with Java applets. I have not heard any discussion of this, but I assume it is on the agenda. Of course, you can use Perl in the browser today (though ironically, only on MSIE for Win32) by installing ActiveState Perl and the PerlScript hooks for WSH.

      I meant the client side Parrot Applets. Whatever those would be.
