Is anyone on this list familiar with the current state of Parrot?

    All I know is: 
http://cvs.perl.org/cvsweb/parrot/ChangeLog?rev=1.4&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

Additionally, is anyone here familiar with some of the work that's been 
done on AOS, related to SmallScript, a version of SmallTalk (see e.g. 
http://www.smallscript.org/SmallScriptWebsite.asp#AOS).  I have the 
impression that those folks have done some interesting work, although 
their non-open-source nature makes it hard to evaluate.
