vktec Hi 19:55
I'm just getting started with Parrot, and I'm trying to run some Python code. I've tried `parrot hello-world.py` but it fails with an error. Can anyone point me in the right direction? 19:56
rurban parrot is just a vm. for python search for it. www.parrot.org/languages doesn't have it. 20:21
pynie is the name of the implementation
this is what I've found: bitbucket.org/allison/pynie 20:22
But I don't think that it will work. development on it stopped around 2011 20:23

vktec rurban: From the Parrot website: 21:12
> Parrot currently hosts a variety of language implementations in various stages of completion, including Tcl, Javascript, Ruby, Lua, Scheme, PHP, Python, Perl 6, APL, and a .NET bytecode translator.
I'm interested in how I translate one of those languages into Parrot bytecode
It seems to imply they're all officially supported
rurban No. parrot supports no single language implementation. they are all external. 21:18
We don't host them anymore. And even rakudo/perl6 support was dropped by them. 21:19
vktec Okay, that makes sense
What's a good language to try out parrot with? 21:20
rurban parrot supports PIR and PASM
vktec I'll take a look at them. Thanks 21:21
rurban I think the only language in parrot itself is nqp-rx, which is the old version of nqp from perl6.
and then there are also examples/languages/abc and sqaak 21:22
winxed is a good language to try out also 21:23
vktec Thanks for the suggestions 21:24
