Announce: Niecza Perl 6 v17 | ||
|
||
This is the seventeenth release of Niecza Perl 6, as usual scheduled on | ||
the last Monday of the month. | ||
|
||
You can obtain a build of Niecza from [1]. This build contains a | ||
working compiler as a set of .exe and .dll files suitable for use with | ||
Mono or Microsoft .NET. If you wish to follow latest developments, | ||
you can obtain the source from [2]; however, you still need a | ||
binary for bootstrapping. | ||
|
||
Niecza is a Perl 6 compiler project studying questions about the | ||
efficient implementability of Perl 6 features. It currently targets | ||
the Common Language Runtime; both Mono and Microsoft .NET are known to | ||
work. On Windows, Cygwin is required for source builds only; see the | ||
README for details. | ||
|
||
