Welcome to the Parrot Developer Wiki

This wiki is a workplace for developers of the Parrot virtual machine and related languages, tools, and applications. If you aren't a developer, you may be looking for  the main Parrot website.

The current status and plan is available at the Parrot Roadmap.

Older content might be still in the  old Parrot wiki, which is in the process of being [MigrateTheWiki migrated to this wiki].
