I was wondering... Are there plans to have parrot securely execute
remote code, similar to JVM, so a person can have a parrot plug-in in
their browser (for example), and run parrot 'applets' with the
confidence that they are safe?
Or is this not really part of the plan?
If there's information about this already, you can just point me to
it, but I couldn't find any. Thanks for the help,
Bryan Burgers

Well, the best place to ask this would actually be on
perl6-i...@perl.org. This list is not really concerned with
parrot, at least at the moment (but that looks like it will change
pretty soon).

And, I don't know much about it, but I do believe that this is part of
the plan. When Dan Sugalski was our grand architect, he mentioned it
a fair amount. I think that we use a different runcore for code that
needs to be safe; i.e. no JIT allowed.
