# The lang/parrot port

## parrot-5.4.0p2 – virtual machine designed for interpreted languages

## Description

    Parrot is a virtual machine designed with the needs of dynamically typed
    languages (such as Perl and Python) in mind, and should be able to run
    programs written in these languages more efficiently than VMs developed
    with static languages in mind (JVM, .NET).
