Browsing the README at Github,
https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/README.md , i noticed it
says​:

"
## How the compiler works

See `docs/compiler_overview.pod`.
"

I went to
https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/docs/compiler_overview.pod
(which was last updated in 2013), and it explains how Rakudo compiles
to the Parrot virtual machine, which executes bytecode.

However, the Github project description for rakudo describes it as
"Perl 6 on MoarVM and the JVM" and
http://rakudo.org/2015/02/21/announce-rakudo-star-release-2015-02/
says that the Parrot backend is no longer supported. Neither 'Moar'
nor 'JVM' appear in compiler_overview.pod

If Parrot is no longer the backend, then i suggest that
docs/compiler_overview.pod should be updated, or at least
deleted (no docs is better than (sufficiently) incorrect docs; if
compiler_overview.pod is deleted then the reference to it should also
be removed from the README).

thanks,

I opened a small PR for Rakudo (rakudo/rakudo#740) to remove the relevant section from README.md and to add a warning that docs/compiler_overview.pod is not up to date.
