@lnxw48a1 The way I remember it, ParrotVM was highly generalized and was supposed to support generic language development, and Perl 6 was supposed to be written in a language-writing language on top of a Parrot "assembly". People wrote almost-implementations of Python, Ruby and other languages for it. In the end though, nothing became fully ready for use.

That's why it stalled for years, and Rakudo and MoarVM was the "fine, whatever, we'll just write Perl 6" solution that actually managed to release something.

I'll try to find the receipts for my claims.

I think you are right that ParrotVM is an ex-Parrot, for the above reasons. But beautiful plumage!
