Perlito is a subset of Perl 6, which was designed as a light bootstrapping language.
Changelog for version 4.0: 4.0 2010-03-20 - Go backend bootstrap. The Go backend was updated to the latest Go language spec. - Perl5 backend optimized; 30% faster - More library functions, added to all backends - New 'Eval.pm' module - implements a MiniPerl6 interpreter in MiniPerl6. This should add some debugging capabilities later on. - New test suite. See README on how to use 'prove' for each backend. - New compiler options to create binary executables - Currently the stable backends are: Perl5, Javascript, JVM, Lisp, Go. See README for bootstrapping instructions for all backends. - Removed support for features that are not standard Perl6. Thanks to pmurias++ for helping test this release.
