May your pleasures be many, your troubles be few. -- Cast of "Hee Haw"
On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 6.0.0, also known as "Red-necked Amazon". Parrot (http://parrot.org/) is a virtual machine aimed at running all dynamic languages. Parrot 6.0.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site (ftp://ftp.parrot.org/pub/parrot/releases/supported/6.0.0/), or by following the download instructions at http://parrot.org/download.
