The key feature of NQP is that it's +designed to be a very small environment (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. |
