In short.Winxed is a language targeting parrot with a javascript-alike syntax and easy access to most parrot features: native types, modules, compilers, native call interface...
The intention is to be useful for low-level parrot development and for more mundane tasks, and to make an easy path to parrot programming by using a syntax familiar for most people.
Implementation.Winxed is self-hosted. There is a stage 0 compiler written in C++ with limited features and stage 1 compiler written in Winxed. Both compilers generate PIR code, so a C++ compiler is not required to install Winxed or even modify it. Compiling to PIR the stage 1 compiler provides a compiler usable in any installed Parrot and able to compile itself.
