You don't gain anything, when you use PMCs for native processor
registers. As this c
Depending on how "not core" you're interested in, tcl is currently a little stalled -
check out languages/tcl/TODO - there's quite a few tasks involving writing PIR (implementing
various commands) or perl (writing tests).
Volunteers welcome. (BTW I spoke with some of the folks on #tcl the other d

Well, there's the TODO list, although that's somewhat short on details.
Another good way
There's a GPL COBOL compiler, TinyCOBOL.

giving it a PIR back end... (And yes, this would actually be very
useful. Imagine using Parrot as a way to migrate legacy COBOL apps
to, well, almost anything else. This would be a Good

Well, I thought this was only an issue with massively large programs
(of which I have *far* too many), but I'm making IMCC fall over and
die with subs of less than 6k-lines of PIR. (5945 lines, counting the
sub start and end lines, with old style (.pcc_begin/.pcc_end)
function calls) In this ca
There's not been a big public announcement, so it's time to change that.
I'd like everyone to give a welcome to Patrick Michaud, who's
volunteered to officially take charge of getting the Perl 6 compiler
module written. I've put in yet another nudge to get the
parrot-compilers list started, and
