parrot/pnet synergy
Here's an interesting bit of information. The portable.net/dotgnu brain, Rhys Wheatherly,
has started making inquiries on the perl6 mailing list about the possibility of exporting parrot
bytecode from gnu's C# compiler. I would like to see Rhys' project differentiated from mono, and I think Rhys would like to see the project achieve some independence from Microsoft's IPR (the real reason).

They also talk about Python->Parrot bytecode being relatively painless, and I know that Simon Cozens is looking into Ruby support. I'm really looking forward to Parrot.
