Subject: [ruby-talk:30121] more parrot-questions..

Maybe I should join perl6-internals for this but here we go.

How is object-orientation going to be done in parrot??
If I use a perl-module from ruby under parrot and it creates a new
object I should be able to use that from my ruby-code in the same way as
if it was a ruby-object, right??  In ruby all objects has the
"Object"-class as it's parent-class, and as such we get some methods
from that class in every object we create.

If I get a perl-object will it still have all those methods when using
ruby?? 

I don't know python very well but I assume that it also has a
"base-class" like "Object" above?  What happens if I use a python-object
from ruby?  Will it have both "Object" and what-ever-python-uses as
parents??  That would mean multiple inheritance which ruby (and I think
python) does not support.

What about native-modules?  Do they have to be written in "parrot-c"
instead of "ruby-c" or "python-c"?? (well.. you know what I mean even if
the terms are all wrong :) )

BTW, thanks dan for answering the other questions I asked :)
