That seems a tad harsh WRT Parrot.  Early on they checked with
python-dev and got little in the way of interest, but they've been
keeping us informed irregularly.  They did explicitly ask for help in
making sure that Parot would work with Python, and IIRC someone (Michael
Hudson?) tried doing a bit of work with Parrot/Python as a proof of
concept.

The way to build large Python applications is to componentize and
loosely-couple the hell out of everything.
