Abstract:
|
Parrot (http://www.parrot.org) is a virtual machine designed to efficiently compile and execute bytecode for dynamic languages. As of late 2010, it hosts a variety of language implementations in various stages of development, including Tcl, Javascript, Ruby, Lua, Scheme, PHP, Python, Perl 6, APL, and a .NET bytecode translator. It is designed to provide interoperability between languages that compile to it. This talk reports on preliminary attempts to implement the basics of the S language in Parrot, a project code-named "The Q Project."
