+Parrot is the new interpreter being designed from scratch to support the
+upcoming Perl6 language. It is being designed as a standalone virtual
+machine that can be used to execute bytecode compiled dynamic languages
+such as Perl6, but also Perl5. Ideally, Parrot can be used to support
+other dynamic, bytecode-compiled languages such as Python, Ruby and Tcl.
