    (description
     "Short for \"Metamodel On A Runtime\", MoarVM is a modern virtual machine
built for the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler and the NQP Compiler Toolchain.  Highlights
include:

@itemize
@item Great Unicode support, with strings represented at grapheme level
@item Dynamic analysis of running code to identify hot functions and loops, and
perform a range of optimizations, including type specialization and inlining
@item Support for threads, a range of concurrency control constructs, and
asynchronous sockets, timers, processes, and more
@item Generational, parallel, garbage collection
@item Support for numerous language features, including first class functions,
exceptions, continuations, runtime loading of code, big integers and interfacing
with native libraries.

    (synopsis "Not Quite Perl")
    (description "This is \"Not Quite Perl\" -- a lightweight Perl 6-like
environment for virtual machines.  The key feature of NQP is that it's designed
to be a very small environment (as compared with, say, perl6 or Rakudo) and is
focused on being a high-level way to create compilers and libraries for virtual
machines like MoarVM, the JVM, and others.

Unlike a full-fledged implementation of Perl 6, NQP strives to have as small a
runtime footprint as it can, while still providing a Perl 6 object model and
regular expression engine for the virtual machine.")
