NAME¶

parrot-nqp - A Not Quite Perl compiler for Parrot

DESCRIPTION¶

"Not Quite Perl" (NQP) is a compiler for quickly generating PIR routines from Perl6-like code. The key feature of NQP is that it's designed to be a very small compiler and is focused on being a high-level way to create transformers for Parrot (especially hll compilers).
