There are several different implementations of Perl 6. They vary widely in design goals, degree of completeness, and current development activity. At present, the implementations closest to matching the specification are [[Pugs]], written in [[Haskell]] and primarily of historical interest, [[Rakudo]], built on the [http://www.parrot.org Parrot] virtual machine, and [[Niecza]], built on the .NET/mono platform. |
