It's in the parrot plan. I keep asking on #parrot whether we can run Z-code yet. (Quite seriously. To run Z-code we need dynamic opcode loading, and foreign bytecode conversion. Likewise, to run Python bytecode we need dynamic opcode loading and bytecode conversion. Likewise Java and .NET Although the danger is that once parrot gets Z-code everyone will stop and play Zork until interrupted by incoming pie (actually, I'm more likely to be playing The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but that's not a material difference)) Nicholas Clark
