As I prepared to dive into a big area of parrot that I'm completely unfamiliar with, I decided to log my travels in hopes of helping out the next poor soul who happens along a similar path.
For now, the focus is on converting my toy languages/regex compiler into more of a real Perl6-style rule compiler callable directly by Parrot. I know someone else was blogging his initial experiences slogging through the Parrot source -- that's where I got the idea, though I'm not exactly a newbie around here so I'll be assuming a bit more familiarity with things. (Though I'm pretty out of touch right now, so maybe not...) Oh, right, the url: http://0xdeadbeef.net/wiki/FinkBlog At least for now. That's my server, and my DSL line is flaky, but I wanted to do the minimal amount of setup, and I'm familiar with this particular wiki syntax. And I expect to get bored of writing stuff up before reaching the point at which moving would be worthwhile. Yes, I'm aware of the wiki at http://www.vendian.org/parrot/wiki/bin/view.cgi/Main/WebHome but I couldn't find an appropriate place to put this there. Also, I wanted something I can get to while off-line, and something I can molest more easily to make writing the log easier. I've modified my wiki a fair amount, and have gotten dependent on some of the shortcuts.
