If I were paid to hack on Parrot, I'd continue working on Python(3) on Parrot after GSoC (other than in my spare time). Ideally, bring it to a level of compatibility to CPython similar to PyPy's, and also implement Python2, to be able to run both 2 and 3 in the same process (no other Python runtime can do this).
This may imply work on Parrot's core, such as object system, FFI, JIT, GC, etc. On 29 June 2011 01:56, Jonathan "Duke" Leto <[email protected]> wrote: > Howdy, > > At the Parrot/Perl 6 BOF at YAPC we are trying to figure out how we can focus > more on the most important things that need to happen in Parrot. > > To facilitate this, please conduct this thought experiment: > > If you were being paid to hack on Parrot, which things would you be expected > to > work on? > > If you can formulate an answer to this, please respond to this email and let > others know.
