+Rakudo Perl 6, or simply Rakudo, is a compiler for the Perl 6 programming
+language. It runs on the Parrot virtual machine.
+
+The Rakudo Star distribution (fondly called Rakudo *) is the Rakudo
+compiler plus a selection of useful Perl 6 modules, the most recent
+incarnation of the "Using Perl 6" book, and other software that can
+be used with the Rakudo compiler to enhance its utility. Rakudo Star
+is meant for early adopters who wish to explore what's possible with
+Rakudo Perl 6 and provide feedback on what works, what doesn't, and
+what else they would like to see included in the distribution.
