in thread {Perl6} Macros and native compilation
chip,
Given your recent acceptance of the Parrot design chief hat, this answer worries me a bit. The question being asked was along the lines of has any work been done towards native executables, to which the answer I believe is "yes" having followed the project for some time now. The answer you gave leads me to believe that it is no longer a goal to support native executables on popular platforms. On the other hand, you might have just meant that while it is an option, it is not a necessary one.

Can you please clarify?
