What is Parrot?



Parrot is a virtual machine aimed at running Perl6 and other dynamic languages.




Parrot 0.2.3 changes and news:

  • Dynamic classes now compile on Windows (including ParTcl)
  • New Super PMC allows easy access to superclass methods
  • Implement C3 method resolution order (just like Perl6 & Python)
  • ParTcl has new PIR-based parser and passes more Tcl tests
  • added character class support in Globs to PGE
  • added language implementations of unlambda, Lazy-k
  • many bugfixes, including GC and memory leaks
  • the new calling scheme continued to evolve in branches/leo-ctx5

After some pause you can grab it from CPAN.



As parrot is still in steady development we recommend that you just get the latest and best from SVN by following the directions at source.html.
