After a IRC meeting with Leo, I've outlined my roadmap of how to make the three compiler backends in Pugs to work in concert to provide a much faster evaluator:
http://use.perl.org/~autrijus/journal/23890
Note that existing code in the Eval monad need not be rewritten; also Pugs will still run Perl 6 code without a parrot installation, by compiling IMC to Haskell on the fly and executing it.
More details and code will follow shortly; suggestions and feedbacks to this plan are very welcome!
Thanks, /Autrijus/
This sounds great, wonderful! I think that having a Perl 6 compiler that targets Parrot is extremely exciting, and I am quite excited to hear about it. I was wondering when Pugs would target Parrot and I am very happy to hear that this now will happen. It will be great thing to finally have Perl 6 compiling to Parrot realised. Please keep up the great work and you have my encouragement, thanks, and gratefulness for this. Your work is greatly appreciated, please keep up the great work.
