+NQP, short for "Not Quite Perl", is a lightweight Perl 6-like
+environment for virtual machines. NQP is designed to be very small (as
+compared with, say, perl6 or Rakudo) and is focused on being a
+high-level way to create compilers and libraries for MoarVM, the JVM,
+and others.
+
+By default, support for MoarVM is built. The JVM backend is experimental
+and requires JDK 8.
