## nqp-2012.06.1 – Not Quite Perl

## Description

    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.
