.NET On Parrot

[Jonathan Worthington]

Hi,

Having observed that doing a thesis related to Parrot is trendy (hey, 
Klaas-Jan!), I'm now adding to the statistic.  :-)

For the next several months, I'm going to be working on translating .NET 
bytecode and meta-data into PIR.  The end result should mean that you can 
load in a .NET class, instantiate it and call methods on it just as you 
would any other native Parrot class.  Or just inherit from it.

This should be another step towards us having "one bytecode to rule them 
all".  ;-)  But for Parrot it will test how well it can support a range of 
language constructs, and also mean I have a good excuse to spend time 
hacking on Parrot itself.  Yay!

Take care,

Jonathan
