NAME

       parrot-nqp - Not Quite Perl (6)

SYNOPSIS

       parrot-nqp <file>

DESCRIPTION

       This is "Not Quite Perl (6)" -- a High Level Language (HLL) which allows one to write Perl6-like code.
       The key feature of NQP is that it's designed to be an easy-to-parse subset of Perl 6. It is geared
       towards being a high-level way to create transformers for Parrot (especially HLL compilers).  It is based
       on PCT::HLLCompiler.

       NQP is used as a bootstrapping language in for Rakudo, and hence developed outside of the main Parrot git
       repository. It is occasionally snapshotted into the main Parrot codebase so it can be bundled with Parrot
       releases and be used by core Parrot developers as well as HLL developers.
