Parrot based implementations of programming languages
A number of languages targeting Parrot are in development. Some of them can be found in the Parrot tarball, in examples/. Most are developed outside of Parrot.
This page tracks the status of these projects, and provides some information on where they can be found.

- (1) I couldn't get one or more tests to run on my system.
- (2) As per README/documentation.
- (3) Basic tests only.
Status
So it's easy to tell what's going on with a project, I'll categorize statuses on the basis of two criteria:
- Completeness: stable, semistable, development, prototype, unknown
- Stable: Claims to be version 1.0, 2.0, etc.; tests appear to cover a usable subset of functionality.
- Semistable: Stable to a deprecated or old standard; can be extended to the latest standard.
- Development: Claims to be version 0.1, 0.2, etc.; large functionality missing.
- Prototype: Claims to be development, prototype or no version number; only basic functionality is in.
- Development: active, maintenance, dormant, inactive
- Active: Major changes in the last month.
- Maintenance: Minor changes in the last month; only really applicable to stable/semistable languages.
- Dormant: No major changes in the last month; bugfixes and occasional commits are still being made.
- Inactive: No changes in the last three months.
- Retired: No plans to maintain or continue development
