Really. That's great. I'm not sure how Parrot relates to what I've said in this thread? Nor even to anything I've ever said about Parrot?

It's simple. A person can talk and talk and then complain about how no one jumps to write code for said person, or a person can write code. I choose the latter.

But then again...if it is possible to create Parrot code, but not to create a thread to run that Parrot code, then could that be an indication that threads on Parrot is going to be another tack-it-on-later solution?

That really depends on what you mean by "tack-it-on-later". The concurrency PDD is still unfinished, and, as such, not completely implemented. Here's your chance to suggest a better threading model than ithreads or pthreads.
