Hello, I have a question about the Parrot FAQ. I hope it's not too off-topic for this list. The FAQ mentions that "it would be nice to write the Perl to Bytecode compiler in Perl" and that there is no bootstrap problem.
Does this mean that the perl6 compiler is written in perl5 and it will be rewritten in perl6 when a large enough subset of perl6 is implemented? I figure Perl5 will be obsolete at some point in the future... I noticed that the current incomplete perl6 implementation is written in perl5 using Parse::RecDescent, but I figured it's just a test implementation until the "real" compiler is written in C... Thanks marius
