the name Parrot was inspired by 1-st april joke that matz and larry
was codeveloped new language called parrot :)  so this platform was
developed with at least perl, ruby and python in mind. there is at
least two common bytecode platforms at this time - jvm and .net; but
at any time there will be languages too different for standard virtual
machines
