Parrot

Posts about the Parrot virtual machine for Perl 6. Although Parrot itself is still in development, I have not used Parrot or updated these pages in quite a while.

• My Parrot and Rakudo TODO

  Apr 11, 2011

  This is more of a personal reminder than a big announcement or anything like that. I have a tendency to get an idea in my  head and then lose it when a bright shiny object comes into my field of view.

• NQP - Not Quite Perl

  Dec 9, 2009

  Parrot is more than just PIR and PASM. I’m not talking about the ability to use languages like Rakudo written for the Parrot virtual machine. I am also not talking about the ability to write your own language. Both of those are quite nifty, of course. It is fair to say that those two items are probably why you are experimenting with Parrot in the first place. However, the Parrot distribution also ships with an extra language: NQP.

  This one’s a bit more bloggy than the earlier steps, but that’s just the mood I was in when writing it. You can ignore the commentary and focus on the code if that’s your preference.

  Parrot is a virtual machine that provides the base for Rakudo and a large number of other languages. I honestly can’t tell you what its virtues are compared to other virtual machines, because I’m just not that well informed. I have been exploring PIR, the Parrot Intermediate Representation language. It’s a lot more low level than what I’m used to, but it is still a lot of fun to play with.
