Hello, I'm a high school senior graduating this year, and I'm interesting in applying to Google's Summer of Code this year in order to work on the Parrot Virtual Machine.
At http://wknight8111.blogspot.com/2010/02/gsoc-idea-immutable-strings.html , Whiteknight/Andrew Whitworth suggests as a project for GSOC creating an immutable string implementation for Parrot to replace the current COW strings. He mentions a few places in Parrot where this would be beneficial. I'm in the process of preparing my proposal, which I will post to this list once I finish it, but I wanted to go ahead and find out what the Parrot dev community thinks about this idea. Would immutable strings be better than the current copy-on-write strings? -- Tyler Curtis _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
