nqp: Not Quite Perl1

A lightweight Raku-like environment for virtual machines. The key feature of NQP is that it's designed to be a very small environment (as compared with, say, raku or Rakudo) and is focused on being a high-level way to create compilers and libraries for virtual machines like MoarVM [1], the JVM, and others.
