Re^2: Is it too late for Parrot VM?

why would any of us care how many lame languages they can run, if they can't run the best?

Just out of interest, in the list of more than 200 languages hosted by JVM I found a reference to perljvm. The link was broken, but a quick search on Google provided a couple of pointers:

the perljvm project hosted on GNU Savannah, and
the paper titled perljvm: Using B to Facilitate a Perl Port To the Java Virtual Machine, by Bradley M. Kuhn.

Although it seems that there's not been much progress on the project since its inception.

Did you actually follow that perljvm link? I ask because there's absolutely nothing to see there. 0 files, no description, no whatever. Btw, those wo are looking for a scripting language that runs on a jvm should check out Groovy and maybe the web application framework Grails. holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l]

If you mean the perljvm project on Savannah, please note that the CVS source is browsable from the source code menu: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/?root=perljvm HTH	[reply]
