I believe not. That's really something that should get done, though...
CLR, JVM and C/C++ implementations exists. As parrot is supposed to be
better for dynamic languages, I guess EcmaScript 3.0 would fit right
in with parrot.
I have only the smallest knowledge of other languages (have made some
tries at Scheme and Ruby, but I don't really feel comfortable with
them), but I have used JavaScript since first introduced in nn2 and
I'd love to contribute. Could one write an initial compiler in
JavaScript, compile from SEE or SpiderMonkey and then run the compiler
on that implementation?
Absolutely. Compilers do *not* have to be integrated in with parrot
-- my current work project uses Parrot as its back end, but the
compiler's written in perl as a standalone program. Works just fine.
(Though a Javascript compiler written in Javascript could bootstrap
itself pretty nicely. That'd be cool... :)
