I'd like to add Punie to the Parrot repository.
Great. And for more fun I've created the basics of a NCI interface [1] for ast functions. Heavily underdocumented and unfinished (as of an hour hacking time ;-), but maybe someone takes it over and continues it. It needs trunk rev 8598 for some added NCI signatures in src/call_list.txt.
It needs probably also a split into a "Past" and "Node" classes. Compiling the resulting top node is also missing, but it should be quite simple to either call the ast compile / emit functions with NCI or create a better interface for that (I didn't look yet).
PS due to upcoming changes in parrot opcodes, you might avoid the 'compile' opcode. Instead:
compi = compreg 'PIR'
prog = compile compi, 'the_code'
the future is:
prog = compi('the_code')
i.e. just invoke the compiler.
Thanks, Allison
