At the time that the thread on python->parrot began, I didn't work on Lua->Parrot anymore, and because "pirate" really is a cool name (well, I think it is :-) I didn't want the name to be lost, and I figured Python-Parrot will be more used than Lua-Parrot. Besides, Py-rrot ~> Pirate is logical. (Michal didn't know I already used the name "Pirate") But indeed, it's a bit confusing sometimes. However, I think the context makes it clear which one is meant. At this moment, I'm trying to create a parser for the new version of Lua, version 5. Pirate was the compiler for Lua 4, and wasn't finished. I decided to try to recreate a Lua->Parrot compiler, but now for version 5. If it works -if it will be working ever- I probably rename the thing to something else, so "Pirate" will mean the Python->Parrot compiler.
