Personally, I think Parrot is very interesting, and the idea of PHP running on
top of Parrot and being a fast enough language that software traditionally
written in C can be written in PHP (without too many people laughing at you) is
pretty cool.

Also, at OSCON, I understood what the heck .NET was for the first time when
someone explained that it was sort of like Parrot. I think Larry Wall explained
Parrot better in 10 minutes than anyone has been able to explain .NET in a few
years.

Interesting stuff.
