Yep, I'll be talking to the Boston ACM about parrot. It'll be a two-part talk, first on the basic structure of parrot and then on some of the tools and techniques we use to build the software. Should be interesting, or at least I think so. :)
Posted by Dan at June 14, 2004 10:55 AM | TrackBack (0)I've been wondering recently how you are handling multi-threading in Parrot? Python's interpreter has (apparently) a big lock that makes multi-threading less efficient than it could be. Java meanwhile has well known memory model issues surrounding the use of volatile variables and compiler reordering of code.
I'd be interested to read an article on how Parrot will handle the problem...
