Description-en: Not Quite Perl compiler
"Not Quite Perl" is 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 JVM, and MoarVM).
.
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.
