Indeed! But then you can't accuse M$ of being
original. Ever.

Actually, I'm really looking forward to it. There's
even a competition to see which interpreter is faster
at doing python . Python's own or parrot. See here:

Even Guido's excited about it. :-)

If parrot wins and stays stable and keeps its
performance lead, I think it would serve us all to
have one runtime to rule them all. (err...am I
starting to sound like a 'human king'?)
