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."
