Which leads to my next questions:
Given a knowledge of a dynamic language (I believe there's one called
Perl 5), what is the trajectory for learning PIR?
Is there any tutorial in the docs?
There's docs/imcc/syntax.pod. Not a tutorial, but a decent introduction.
Is the "Parrot Essentials" book (still) of any use in this regard?
It's still a good starting point, but the content needs to be updated. I
haven't yet been successful in getting O'Reilly to release those
chapters to the Parrot project for inclusion in the repository.
Failing that, a PIR tutorial is a good project for someone to take on.
You interested in working on it?
