If you were writing a VM for one language, and then tried to extend it
for the others, then I would agree wholeheartedly.  However, it's no
more strange than using MSIL for C++ and VB and other languages.

In all cases that I can think of, your dynamic code is essentially a
string which gets eval()ed (with a language-dependent eval).  The
solution is to make the eval() function/operator compile into a sequence
of operations along the lines of: Load the compiler for this language,
(if it's not already loaded), pass that string to the compiler, run the
generated bytecode.

Considering that Jcl and Jython exist, it seems like a reasonable goal
would be to make an interpreter which turns Java's .class files into
Parrot .pasm files.  Once that tool exists, one could simply translate
Jcl and Jython into parrot... there would be no need to re-implement
them.

And one day, in the distant future, there will be a Perl6 decompiler,
which will turn Parrot bytecode into Perl6.  Then we'll be able to
convert the translated Jython and Jcl into Perl6 :)

No matter *what* language you're using, some sort of interface to select
or poll will be needed, and that interface would be implemented in C.

Whether it's "chunky" or not depends on how that interface appears on
the high-level end of things.

The set of bytecodes which Parrot will be using has been decided, and
while it's not fixed in stone, it's quite unlikely to get a whole other
language's bytecodes added to it.

Assuming you thouroughly understand Tcl's bytecodes, why not take a look
at Parrot, and see whether the set of bytecodes that parrot supports is
sufficient to do everything that Tcl's bytecodes do?
