i believe that , as long as any technology, be it Parrot, be it Perl.NET (yes, even though .NET is related to microsoft (gasp ! have i committed heresy ?!? ;-) ), or be it anything else, as long as Perl is, or can be used to write programs to use those technologies, there's no harm in using this site to discuss about such issues...and , as usual, we should leave it to the wise monks to filter out what's relevant and what's not...
