Well no, it just the time the project is consuming to build an interpreter. I have not been able to vind spare time for this project because I have so little...
Hello everybody, Iam resurrected! 8-) Sine Early August I have had little or No time for making any posts to the OSCAR | PRIMO or REBOL lists for the following...
... Would it be ok to let us see your latest code? If it's been modified since the 9-Feb release that is. Wouldn't it make some sense to put a virtual machine...

Hi Marcus, is Parrot intended to be another interpreted JVM like machine, or shall it be more like Elate's VP or Microsoft's MSIL, that were meant to be ...

... Both. At the moment only interpreted, but it looks like there will be compilers in the future (the register architecture helps with this). And it will not...
Virtual Machines Marcus / Ladislav / Everybody Regards the implementing of REBOL / PRIMO on various virtual machines, whilst this has certain obvious ...
... I like platform diversity, and see VMs not as a threat, but as a way of ensuring that platforms can remain, just as high-level languages do. As for...
Hi all (gee it's been a while since I posted here ..... :-) I've been following Oscar/Primo for *ages*. One of the other areas of my interest is the Spirit...
..., The dream of all software programmers is not comming true. You can't make software run faster than the hardware. Even if you use dynamic optimalisation...
... AFAIK, those optimisation tricks are not strictly connected to the use of a VM. Dynamic optimisation has been (or was) used for long in the Alpha version...

Marcus / Everybody, Just to go over some "OLD" ground, what we previously discovered about datatypes was the following; Each Predicate for each datatype! has a...
More On Datatypes Hello again..... To follow on from my last post, if we accept that the predicate numbers for datatypes are correct and that integer! is 29,...

... This is another undocumented behaviour... ... If that's true, it's a behaviour we should get rid off, since we will be able to make new datatype values in...
