Is Perl's Parrot not meant to be something like that?
- dragonwriter 4y agoParrot [0] was meant to be that and the main VM for Perl6 (now Raku) and failed at both. [0] http://www.parrot.org/ http://www.parrot.org/ states: The Parrot VM is no longer being actively developed. Last commit: 2017-10-02 The role of Parrot as VM for Perl 6 (now "Raku") has been filled by MoarVM, supporting the Rakudo compiler. [...] Parrot, as potential VM for other dynamic languages, never supplanted the existing VMs of those languages.
- latenightcoding 4y agoRaku uses MoarVM
- dragonwriter 4y agoYes, the quote from the Parrot website I provided says exactly that: the role Parrot intended to fill for Perl6 has been filled by MoarVM supporting the Rakudo compiler.
