Amber for Parrot

Amber for Parrot is a scripting language designed for the Parrot virtual machine. It is an object-oriented language that combines the advantages of traditional scripting languages with the support for software correctness and large-scale development. This language has syntax and semantics that fall somewhere between Eiffel and Ruby.

Here are some key features of Amber for Parrot:

- Focus on software correctness and re-use
- Syntax and semantics that fall somewhere between Ruby and Eiffel
- Scales well to large systems
- Concise syntax, easy to read and maintain
- Interoperates with code written in C and Parrot PIR
- Interoperates with Parrot versions of Perl, Python, Ruby, and more
- Supports Contract Driven Design (CoDD) for software development

In the latest Amber for Parrot release, the number of arguments is now checked at each call, and an exception is raised if there is a mismatch. Overall, Amber for Parrot is a powerful language that provides developers with a range of tools and features to build software that is both robust and maintainable.
