# The lang/nqp port

## nqp-2021.02 – Not Quite Perl

## Description

    This is "Not Quite Perl" -- a lightweight Raku-like environment
    for virtual machines.  The key feature of NQP is that it's designed
    to be a very small environment (as compared with, say, raku or
    Rakudo) and is focused on being a high-level way to create compilers
    and libraries for virtual machines (such as the Parrot Virtual
    Machine, the JVM, and MoarVM).  Unlike a full-fledged implementation
    of Raku, NQP strives to have as small a runtime footprint as it
    can, while still providing a Raku object model and regular
    expression engine for the virtual machine.
