Why use PARROT as the basis for Open Source Platforms (GNOME etc) ?
I've created the following WIKI (http://www.vendian.org/parrot/wiki/bin/view.cgi/Main/WhyUseParrot) in response to Havoc Pennington's recent Opinion Article on Footnotes which advocates JAVA/JVM as the future of the Open Source Desktop. Please, feel free to check this out and respond as appropriate.

Please, feel free to check this out and respond as appropriate. Two important things: 1) Parrot's not hit 1.0 yet. Much as I like it (It is, after all, my fault) there are large portions not yet done. It works fine with what is finished, and I'm using it in a production project at work, but its not in a state that I'd recommend general usage. 2) Parrot isn't an acronym, and as such should be capitalized Parrot. (Unless you're on a teletype or using RAD-50) If you want to use PARROT the proper usage is: PARROT* * which stands for nothing 3) I can't count 4) While I know folks do love getting worked up and frothing over Their Favorite Software (which is, of course, The Absolute Right Thing for every possible use) I think nearly everyone involved would prefer the advocacy and Your code/model/scheme/idea sucks! messages to get routed elsewhere, rather than on any of these lists. I suggest /dev/null, but local conditions may vary. NL: and NLA0: are both nice places to save those message drafts, and remember that the advocacy versions of all these lists are hosted @127.0.0.1.

I suppose. I hadn't planned on inlining parrot assembly into any other
language. (The first person who suggests an asm() function *will* get
smacked... :) You'll certainly be able to use modules written purely in
parrot assembly.
