| | 159 | '''Background''': Technical writing |
| | 160 | |
| | 161 | '''Details''': We would like a short paper (roughly 1000 words, with some charts/graphics) that compares and contrasts the Neko VM to Parrot VM, describing which characterists each shared, what things are different, how optimizations are done and which ideas Parrot can utilize from Neko. This paper should be in an open source format, and can take the form of a blog post or a POD file that can be included with the Parrot documentation or on the Parrot website. |
