+PARROT: A bytecode language possible to be used in the future by
+Perl 6 and a Python.
+
+The idea was originally an April fool's joke...
+
+"What we're releasing today is a very, very early alpha of the Parrot
+interpreter. At the moment, we have support for some simple
+operations on integer, floating point and string registers, and the
+ability to read in and execute bytecode. We also have an assembler
+which can generate bytecode output from Parrot assembly."
