Great quotations are the wisdom of the tribe. They bridge time and space. They connect the living and the dead.
The Talmud says the right quotation at the right moment is like "bread to the Famished." May you be Fed. -- from "Sunbeams: A Book of Quotations" [2nd ed], by Sy Safransky (Inadvertently creating a meta-meta-quote) On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 5.10.0, also known as "Sun Conure". Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a virtual machine aimed at running all dynamic languages. Parrot 5.10.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site (ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/devel/5.10.0/), or by following the download instructions at http://parrot.org/download. For those who would like to develop on Parrot, or help develop Parrot itself, we recommend using Git to retrieve the source code to get the latest and best Parrot code.
