3. Information about the nqp package on openSuSE Tumbleweed

Information for package nqp:
----------------------------
Repository : openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
Name : nqp
Version : 2022.07-1.5
Arch : x86_64
Vendor : openSUSE
Installed Size : 3.8 MiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : nqp-2022.07-1.5.src
Upstream URL : https://github.com/Raku/nqp
Summary : Not Quite Perl
Description :
This is "Not Quite Perl" -- a lightweight Raku-like environment for virtual
machines. The key feature of NQP is that it's designed to be a very small
environment (as compared with, say, raku or Rakudo) and is focused on being
a high-level way to create compilers and libraries for virtual machines like
MoarVM, the JVM, and others.
Unlike a full-fledged implementation of Raku, NQP strives to have as small a
runtime footprint as it can, while still providing a Raku object model and
regular expression engine for the virtual machine.
