Parrot is a virtual machine designed to efficiently compile and execute bytecode for dynamic languages. Parrot currently hosts a variety of language implementations in various stages of completion, including Tcl, Javascript, Ruby, Lua, Scheme, PHP, Python, Perl 6, APL, and a .NET bytecode translator. Parrot is not about parrots, though we are rather fond of them for obvious reasons.
Parrot 4.0.0 "Hyperstasis" Released!
Submitted by Whiteknight on Wed, 01/18/2012 - 02:40.
At one extreme, it is possible to approach the subject on a high mathematical
epsilon-delta level, which generally results in many undergraduate students not
knowing what's going on. At the other extreme, it is possible to wave away all
the subtleties until neither the student nor the teacher knows what's going on.
-Stanley J. Farlow, Preface to Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and
Engineers
On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 4.0.0,
also known as "Hyperstasis". Parrot

Guitor Hero
Submitted by NotFound on Tue, 11/29/2011 - 00:35.
I've created a new project: Guitor, a GUI creaTOR module written in winxed using Xlib via NCI.
It's not much feature complete yet, but has enough funcionality to provide some nice examples, including a viewer for R->R functions and a drawing board.
I've tested only in linux amd64 and i386, so the StructView used may be not appropiate in some platforms, feedback will be appreciated.
https://github.com/NotFound/Guitor
Install: winxed setup.winxed install
Run an example: winxed examples/pizarra.winxed
Enjoy!

PACT - Disassembler
Submitted by benabik on Wed, 11/16/2011 - 22:38.
The first step in generating a packfile is understanding the packfile. So I've been writing a Winxed disassembler. It's pretty fully featured at this point. It's showing constants, annotations, and symbolic instructions. Despite my fears, it turned out that PCC wasn't all that difficult to deal with.

Parrot Documentation Revision Effort (Blog un)
Submitted by ayardley on Thu, 11/10/2011 - 09:25.
Finally! I have managed to find enough time -- in the wee hours of the morning no less -- and a stable current of electricity -- meaning the power company has finished its little poll-replacement project -- to push a new 'documentation_revisions' branch to the parrot repo. This is the branch from which anyone involved with the documentation revision effort will work. Hopefully, that is, if I've gotten everything correct. (I make no pretensions here to knowing or to understanding, well, how git works.
