[ANN] Lua on Parrot 0.4.16

[François PERRAD <francois.perrad@...>]

Parrot is a VM (virtual machine) designed specifically for running dynamic 
languages in general, and Perl 6 in particular (see 
http://www.parrotcode.org/).
Parrot is still in development, the latest monthly version is 0.4.16.

A complete prototype of Lua 5.1 is now available :
 - an Lua interpreter written in PIR (Parrot Intermediate Representation) 
that generates PIR
 - a large subset of the Lua Standard Librairies (written in PIR)
 - a test suite (more than 950 tests)

Documentation starts in 
http://svn.perl.org/viewcvs/parrot/trunk/languages/lua/doc/running.pod?view=markup 
and 
http://svn.perl.org/viewcvs/parrot/trunk/languages/lua/doc/status.pod?view=markup.

Any comments, suggestions, bug report, test, improvement are welcome on 
Parrot mailing list (perl6-internals@perl.org).

François Perrad.
