[Rd] migration to common runtime?

[Timothy H. Keitt]

I'm curious if any of the core R developers have considered the 
possibility of hosting R (v2?) on the parrot common runtime environment. 
Perl6 will generate byte-code for parrot, as will some future version of 
python. I can imagine both drawbacks and advantages. Some advantages 
would be fast byte-code execution and freely mixing perl, python and R 
modules. Anyone looked into this?
