Hi list, I released a few days ago the Neko intermediate language at http://nekovm.org . In the FAQ I'm comparing Neko to LLVM / C-- and Parrot. According to a mail sent to me by Leopold Toetsch I got some points wrong when trying to generalize theses three frameworks in the same category, which of course is true since Parrot is more "high-level" than the two others and still I guess more "low-level" than Neko.
I would like to know if some people would be interested in studying a way to run Perl6 programs on Neko, or which would be the problems in trying to do so, since Neko - as Parrot - is intended to provide a common runtime for several languages. I'm also open to comments on general Neko design and comparisons to Parrot or similar works. I guess that some LambdaCamels here will be interested to know that the Neko compiler is written in OCaml and than I'm planing to add the NekoML language that would bring a ML type system language running on the Neko runtime, the goal being to be able to rewrite the Neko compiler in NekoML.
