Autrijus: Actually, I think Pugs and Parrot will meet in the middle. Where Pugs AST meets Parrot AST and the compiler is written in Perl 6 that can then be run on Parrot.

chromatic: I thought Pugs would get rewritten in C for Parrot?

Autrijus: No, in Perl 6.

chromatic: Can GHC retarget a different AST then?

Autrijus: It can, but that's not the easier plan.

chromatic: It's easy for me. I don't plan to do it.

Autrijus: The easier plan is simply for Pugs to have a Compile.hs that emits Parrot AST. Which, I'm happy to discover yesterday, is painless to write. (Ingy and I did a KwidAST->HtmlAST compiler in an hour, together with parser and AST.)
