What is mildew?

Mildew is a compiler that uses STD.pm as its parser and SMOP as its runtime. It's mainly developed by Pawel Murias and Daniel Ruoso.

What works?

The development of mildew is not feature-oriented, so we support a very small subset of the language features, but that is not really bad news. Mildew development is concept-oriented, so that means we fully support some Perl 6 concepts that are not yet supported by other implementations, like the "return" routine.

Mildew has its own test suite, which is located at http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/v6/mildew/t/

What doesn't work

Most of the spec is not yet implemented, take a look at the test suite to see what already works.
