This is "Not Quite Perl" -- 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 (as compared with, say, perl6
|
||
|
|
or Rakudo) and is focused on being a high-level way to create
|
||
|
|
compilers and libraries for virtual machines (such as the Parrot
|
||
|
|
Virtual Machine). Unlike a full-fledged implementation of Perl 6,
|
||
|
|
NQP strives to have as small a runtime footprint as it can, while
|
||
|
|
still providing a Perl 6 object model and regular expression engine
|
||
|
|
for the virtual machine.
