The release of Parrot 1.0 provides the first "stable" release to developers, with a supportable, stable API for language developers to build from. For those who don't know, Parrot is a virtual machine for dynamic languages like Perl, PHP, Python, and Ruby, and is best known as the virtual machine for Rakudo, the reference implementation of Perl 6."

Probably; that usually happens when someone posts a link to the internet on Slashdot. Someone really needs to update the server for the internet.

Slightly off topic: Is there a compiler for Perl, that is not based on bytecode, and therefore is difficult to decompile?
