Hmm.  Sadly, writing a C# complier is a bit over my skill level.  :-)

I'm an old Perl 5 programmer and remember the pre-.Net announcement of
the Parrot/Perl6 project.  Have since moved on to other platforms...
first python, then .Net.

Now that I am looking around the Parrot site, I see that even Python
is not yet well supported.  (!!)

I would have assumed that strong PPR (Perl/Python/Ruby) support is a given.

What happed?  Did the Parrot project die out?
