Projects

• Improve Web UI of app-parrot-create app-parrot-create is a web-project. It will allow to create a language/project skeleton and return in an archive.
• JavaScript backend for NQP (and Rakudo Perl 6). Improve the JavaScript backend for QAST (the intermediate format for both Rakudo and NQP) up to the point where NQP can bootstrap itself using it.
• Parrot VM bindings to the libgit2 0.18 API A complete low-level (PIR) binding to the libgit2 0.18 API, as well as a simple higher-level Winxed binding with enough functions implemented to implement common libgit2 examples.
