There is also a Python implementation called "Pynie" http://code.google.com/p/pynie/ http://code.google.com/p/pynie/
List of language developments are kept on the wiki at https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/Languages https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/Languages.
If language developers get behind Parrot it could become a very interesting alternative to JVM & .Net
- jballanc 18y agoLast I checked Cardinal was dead... and even if not, is it 1.9 compatible?
- tene 18y agoI haven't worked on Cardinal in ages, besides moving it to an independent repository recently and updating it to actually build on its own last night. The grammar is fairly complete, but the standard library isn't there, several builtin classes are missing completely, or don't have all their methods filled out, etc. I was targeting 1.9, yes. The big problem is that I don't actually know or really like ruby. That's the main reason I stopped working on it. I'd love to see someone else take up work on it. I'd be glad to give commit privs on the repo to anyone, and I'd love to help anyone get up to speed in working on it.
- whatusername 18y agoOne of the things I love about HN.. You ask a question like that - and out of nowhere - the author of the code responds.
