Parrot VM 6.8.0

Parrot is a parser toolkit and virtual machine optimized for dynamic and scripting languages. It was designed for Perl6 but supports Lua, Ruby, Python, Pascal, Tcl and Scheme implementations. The Parrot runtime is register-based, garbage-collected, provides Unicode-aware strings, polymorphic object containers, allows dynamic opcodes, and its bytecode is commonly compiled from PIR (Parrot Intermediate Language), PASM (Parrot Assembly), or NQP (Not Quite Perl).
