Thank you
progress
I've just updated this to the latest myself.
Anything else I should add, change or remove? I'm especially interested
in verifyable metrics showing effort, progress, or use. Ideally graphical.
Any interesting nuggets that fit with the theme will be most welcome.

I'd like the Java parser to be reusable by others.
Here's a related idea: write a tool that reads BNF grammar, such as

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/grammars.html
and writes a parser in Perl 6

If so, then perhaps speed-sensitive ops that are likely to be used in
loops can be given the PMC to (re)use.

Those warnings come from a version of tools/build/nativecall.pl I've

What steps are being taken to ensure that patches/code donations to Parrot
are free from potential intellectual property concerns?
Tim.
that'll be another hard to debug situation.
Couldn't (doesn't) parrot have a stronger concept of a 'scope' (as
in perl5's scope.c) so that scope-exit cleanup can be automated and
reliable?
Tim [ignore me if I'm talking nonsense]
t NamespaceList PMC could be passed around
and act just like a Namespace PMC.
E. [extra thought] Namespace PMCs would auto-vivify namespaces below
themselves to be of the same type of PMC. Languages could install
language-specific PMCs at their root (which would then auto-vivify
down the tree) to support any language-specific behaviour that might
be useful - though still supporting Parrot mandated behaviour.
Feel free to shoot me down ([1] especially as I don't know what I'm
talking about when it comes to parrot internals like vtables).

ader time.
To lookup a non-constant string you just need to check if it's in
the unique string pool and get that pointer if it is. If it's not
then you know it doesn't exist anywhere. If it is you do the lookup
using the address of the string in the pool.
The JudyL functions (http://judy.sourceforge.net/) provide a very
efficient 'integer hash'.

- Each HLL could have it's own 'root' to avoid name clashes.
- Backlinks can be used to provide access to other HLL namespaces.
- This combination of unification (all in one tree) and isolation
(each HLL has a separate root) offers the best of all worlds.
