Parrot recently added a GSoC proposal idea to embed Parrot into Tor. It would be great to get the feedback from Tor developers.

Also, this could be under the Parrot or the Tor GSoC project, whichever makes the most sense.

The proposal idea could use more detail, but the high-level view that I imagine is:

1. Allow Parrot to talk to libtor (this will use NCI - Native Call

Interface) via PIR 2) Ability to create Parrot interpreter objects from within Tor via C 3) Write glue code for a High Level Language (HLL) to talk to libtor

I've never heard of ‘libtor’. What's that?

And why do you think we should want to embed Parrot into Tor?
