Parrot and C#

Some time ago Miguel once said that Parrot was based on religon (ok he said ideology), You can reads Dans view on this here. Dot GNU's Rhys Weatherly  is however courting the Parrot developers to to get C# running on Parrot, it will be interesting to see if the relationship can grow and if C# really can be crafted (and run well) on multiple CLR's, would be great to see Miguel get Mono involved too.

I am interested in cranking out a C# to Parrot compiler. While I wont be around to get any replies to this message, I have been working on possibilities for retargeting GCC to Parrot bytecode (tech. diffic. are there; not intractable though), a BASIC to Parrot compiler (get new people started), and a dynamic, SSA-like language for optimization.

I have also considered applying tools like TXL, JANUS or Semantic Design's software to aid in translating the Python Standard Library and any other Python code to something that will run on Parrot. It will probably be VERY slow, but it will give us something to use immediately (after its built) until the stuff is handcoded.

I have currently been working on these in either preliminary stages or the system level. If someone would get a C# to C converter going, perhaps we could have something running on Parrot sooner, as someone could make a subset of C for easy conversion to PIL or PASM. (C-- comes to mind)

So far, Janus claims to be able to translate full COBOL to languages like C++ or Java. I say apply transformation technologies to our current problems, and crank out a working runtime for Python on Parrot rapidly, able to reuse existing code by a recompile.
