The Parrot Lives, Or Does It?

CosmicDreams writes: "Last April fools, I was indeed fooled by a slashdot article that claimed that Python and Perl developers were going to join forces and merge their current development trees into a new computer language called Parrot. It seems as though my foolishness was well placed. Today I came across this story In the article, it talks about the ongoing progress of the language and what plans the developers have for the near future. Now I'm so confused I don't really know if this is for real or not. Does someone know if this is the same Parrot programming language. I don't want to place my foolishness foolheartedly."
