<a href="http://github.com/sorear/niecza">Niecza</a> is a compiler
targetting the Common Language Runtime (.NET and Mono). Its goal
is to explore the static aspects of Perl 6 and the possibilities
for compile-time optimization, though this is not yet well realized.
It is actively developed.

<a href="/compilers/std-viv">STD</a>
is Larry Wall's reference implementation of the Perl 6 grammar,
parser generator, and some of the semantic verifier. STD is an
abbreviation of "Standard", as in "Perl6.0.0-STD". It is written in
Perl 6, transliterated into Perl 5 by viv.
It is also used by
various phases of several other compilers (mildew, perlito, elf).

<li>
<a href="/compilers/std-viv">viv</a> ("vi" to "v", 6 to 5)
is a compiler that uses STD as its front-end. STD itself uses viv to
build. It is actively developed along with STD.

<li>
<a href="http://www.perlito.org/">Perlito</a>, also known as MiniPerl6,
is a subset of Perl 6, designed as a light bootstrapping language.
You can <a href="http://www.perlito.org/js">try it online</a>. It is
actively developed <a href="http://github.com/fglock/Perlito/">here</a>.

<li>
<a href="http://github.com/masak/yapsi">Yapsi</a> is Yet Another
Perl Six Implementation, an implementation of a Perl 6
compiler-and-runtime in Perl 6. Yapsi issues monthly releases
and is actively developed.

<li>
<a
href="http://github.com/diakopter/sprixel">Sprixel</a> is a
Perl 6 compiler targetting the Common Language Runtime (.NET
and Mono). It has a storied history (many total rewrites), but it
currently intends to implement a small strongly/natively-typed
functional-programming subset of Perl 6 ("perlesque"), but
specifically the flavor of Perl 6 used by STD, to facilitate
quick bootstrapping of the official STD grammar and Cursor parser
engine to the CLR. It is actively developed.

Maintenance releases for successive versions of ghc are published to
