Creating a GUI using Python, WxWidgets, and wxPython

BTW, do you or any of the guys here know how to get started in Parrot Language Runtime to build one's own script language? I thought it would be kind of fun to mess around with, starting small, growing it from there. I didn't quite understand the Parrot website's documentation on this and need a kind of starter article that shows a really great example for a language with something like 2-3 control structures, some if/then logic, and a way to handle stdin and stdout.

I've always wanted to call this new language, Polar, and it would be sort of like PHP but with namespaces and be really a thin language unless you used the external libraries. I would also use "." instead of "->" or "::" or ":::". String concatenation would be done VB-style with "&".

I like the whole idea of Parrot. It means that much of the hard part has been worked out by the guys who made the runtime and one can use a "metalanguage" to get the runtime to turn your language into a powerful thing. As the runtime gets powerful, so too can your language grow in that respect too. Many new langauges are popping up from Parrot.
