<br><br> Why:<br> Parmer FreeYourMind! and the Differentiated Tools Team are<br> co-sponsoring a visit from Patrick Michaud to discuss Parrot, a tool of<br> significance to the CAD industry. This is an open forum for members
<br> of the CAD community to meet and discuss their desires for how they<br> would like the language to handle their requirements. The talk is<br> open to the public and will be announced to Intel, Intrinsity, AMD,
<br> QualComm, IBM and the Austin Perl Mongers Group. Please tell your<br> colleagues.<br><br> What:<br> Patrick Michaud will present Parrot, a virtual machine environment<br> for Perl6, Python, Ruby, Tcl, JavaScript.

</a><br><br> Who:<br> Software Developers,<br> Language Designers and Implementers,<br> Perl users<br><br> Talk description<br> ----------------<br><br> Over the past few years the Perl community has been designing and
<br> developing Parrot, a virtual machine interpreter for dynamic languages.<br> While this virtual machine is obviously intended to support compilation<br> in Perl, a fundamental design goal of Parrot is also to provide language
<br> interoperability at the bytecode level with many scripting languages,<br> including Python, Ruby, Tcl, JavaScript, and others. Parrot also<br> provides a "native calling interface" that allows these dynamic
<br> languages to access libraries written in languages such as C or C++.<br><br> This talk reviews the Parrot virtual machine environment and describes<br> the goals and status of the Perl 6 and Parrot efforts.<br>
The talk includes an introduction to the compiler tools that have been<br> created to simplify parsing, analysis, and bytecode generation for<br> language translators (including Perl 6). The talk also provides a brief
<br> introduction to Parrot's native calling interface, demonstrations of<br> currently available capabilities, and a look at how Parrot and Perl 6<br> are aiming to achieve language interoperability within a single runtime
<br> environment.<br><br> About the presenter<br> -------------------<br> Patrick R. Michaud is the lead designer ("pumpking") for the Perl 6<br> compiler and the Parrot compiler tools.<br> He holds a
Ph.D. in Computer Science and was formerly a Professor of<br> Computer Science at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.<br> He is currently a software developer and consultant focused on open<br> source development and applications, including Perl, PmWiki, and Linux.
