This is the same as bug #562 I filed months ago. I also sent several
messages to the newsgroups and asked several questions in IRC.
However, no one wanted to rise to the challenge and decide how this
should work - no architect (or perhaps, one more interested in being
in control rather than deciding on important behaviour). It was this
bug or at least the way key players in the parrot team lacked interest
in it that led me to feel that Parrot isn't interested in supporting
any language other than Perl 6. This just made it all a bit too
cliquey for me.
Yes, it's a bug, yes it needs to be fixed, and no we haven't fixed it yet.
And, no, Perl 6 isn't the only language we're interested in supporting.
Personally, I'm more interested in Python 3 at the moment, and there are
a broad array of people working here who are more interested in various
other languages.
99.999999999% of the time, if some task isn't getting done, the cause is
limited volunteer time. So, you really don't need to stretch and invent
more obscure motivations.
