Woo, looks like I'll be doing the OSCON tour this year too. My talk "Little Languages in Parrot" has been accepted. All I need to do now is, errr, get little languages running in parrot ;-) "Little" as Parrot isn't ready for Python just yet. I'm thinking of starting with small UNIXy tools like sort, uniq, cut, sed (I might just skip lex and yacc)). SQL is an interesting one (SQLite has an integrated bytecode VM for example). What else shall I do?
Hmm, the number of things I'm meant to be doing has just about doubled...
