The code definitely needs some looking at and cleanup. It's not perfect and I expect it's flawed in a number of places. I'm just happy to get the damn stuff into the repository so the bytecode tests can start.
I've put in a first test. Needed some changes to get it running and I'm not outerly sure if its overall correct. Anyway: - ParrotObject inherits from ParrotClass now - move isa to ParrotClass and get it running - move find_method there too - IMHO the new class could have a copy of ParrotObjects vtable and not that of ParrotClass
You're right on the last point--while the ParrotClass vtable gets called to initialize the PMC, the resulting PMC should have a ParrotObject vtable. The current scheme is, well, wrong in that regards.

Do you have something WRT setting/getting attributes?
I thought we had at least discussed a spec of sorts a while back. I'll go look and see what we talked about and go from there.

Or for 0.2?
Yep.

Create an Exception class hierarchy?
I'm not 100% sure I want to go with a real OO style of exceptions, but that might just be the neo-luddite in me.
> *) Events
Need an event-handler thread AFAIK.
Yeah, but not for what I'm considering now--events should be handled in the interpreter that gets them.
