Howdy,
There is something called MoarVM that Parrot folk should know about,
which is "A 6model-based VM, being built for NQP and Rakudo Perl 6".

Thoughts? It is very far from running the current Rakudo, but it looks
like what Rakudo will replace Parrot with in the future.
I think it's pretty cool that they're bootstrapping on Parrot. A decade
ago they would have been bootstrapping on Perl 5. It demonstrates
Parrot's relevance for rapid-prototyping of compilers/VMs, which is
nothing to sneeze at (and would be a reasonable direction for Parrot to
focus future efforts, if Rakudo decides not to use Parrot).
I don't know anything about their architecture, so can't comment on
pros/cons. I wish them great success. Any evolution in the VM space is a
good thing.
