Threading just doesn't work (it's going to be rewritten from scratch). Sometimes there are segfaults within managed code and sometimes there are memory leaks. Sometimes an assertion in the VM fails, causing the program to halt with a stack

I've used Parrot as a target for a language implementation. It supports a lot of stuff out of the box (even multimethods!) and it's quite easy to get started. It also provides tools to help you build a compiler, like a parser generator inte

I found this to be a great introduction on how to write a compiler: http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~aghuloum/compilers-tutorial-2006-... It starts with a compiler for a language that only accepts integers and gradually extends it to support co

Just pick one of them randomly. Once you know enough about the language, you will be able to choose the implementation that better suits your needs.
