The Parrot team is proud to announce the release of Parrot version 0.0.10, code named "Juice" (based on the new -Oj optimization flag). It is downloadable from http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SF/SFINK/parrot-0.0.10.tar.gz. If you would like to check the latest copy out from CVS, see these instructions.

Try it out by unpacking it, then running:

  perl Configure.pl
  make
  make test

or for a newer, *much* faster way to run the tests:

  make
  cd languages/imcc; make; cd ../..
  make test IMCC=languages/imcc/imcc

If you would like to join in the fun, all discussion occurs on the perl6-internals mailing list. Start from www.parrotcode.org for information on all Parroty things.

    # Mmmm, beer good

set I1, 99 # bottles of beer
set I2, 1  # single bottle

set S1, " of beer on the wall,\n"
set S2, " of beer,\n"
set S3, "Take one down, pass it around,\n"
set S4, " of beer on the wall\n\n"

set S5, " bottle"
set S6, " bottles"

set S7, "No more bottles of beer on the wall\n\n"

set S8, "*Buuurrp*\n"

branch n_bottles # start drinkin'

n_bottles: print I1
           print S6
           print S1
           print I1
           print S6
           print S2
           print S3
           dec I1
           eq I1, I2, bottle_of # Aww, we're getting low
           print I1
           print S6
           print S4
           ne I1, I2, n_bottles # keep on drinkin'

           print S5
           print S4
           branch one_bottle # bout time for a liver transplant

    Is parrot working/compiling fine on Win32? The last time (I don't remember what version) I can't test it on Win32.

        I think that will be better a MingW and VC++ version (they already are there?). Of course that support for borland is good, but you stay dependent of their giant DLLs.
