And the band struck up. Hwel peered around a pillar and signalled to Wimsloe and Brattsley, who hobbled out into the glare of the torches. OLD MAN (an Elder): "What hath befell the land?" OLD WOMAN (a Crone): " 'Tis a terror—" The dwarf watched them for a few seconds from the wings, his lips moving soundlessly. Then he scuttled back to the guardroom where the rest of the cast were still in the last hasty stages of dressing. He uttered the stage manager's traditional scream of rage. "C'mon," he ordered. "Soldiers of the king, at the double! And the witches – where are the blasted witches?" Three junior apprentices presented themselves. "I've lost my wart!" "The cauldron's all full of yuk!" "There's something living in this wig!" "Calm down, calm down," screamed Hwel. "It'll all be all right on the night!" "This is the night, Hwel!"
On behalf of the Parrot team, I'm proud to announce Parrot 7.10.0, also known as "Wyrd Parrot". Parrot is a virtual machine aimed at running all dynamic languages.
Parrot 7.10.0 is available on Parrot's FTP site, or by following the download instructions. For those who want to hack on Parrot or languages that run on top of Parrot, we recommend our organization page on GitHub, or you can go directly to the official Parrot Git repo on Github To clone the Parrot Git repo into a directory called 'parrot', use the following:
git clone git://github.com/parrot/parrot.gitIf you want it to be in a directory other than 'parrot', then just give that as a second argument to clone:
git clone git://github.com/parrot/parrot.git parrot_foo
