2019.09.08 in #425"Perl" in the name "Perl 6" is confusing and irritating
This is a ticket with a long discussion on changing the name of Perl 6 to Camelia, Raku, ofun, or whatever. (Not *). A fun read even if you don't want to voice your opinion. Personally I don't know if a name change will make any difference in attracting new people to either of the languages, but at least it will, hopefully, let the two communities stop fighting and get a peaceful divorce.
