Even though I’m not writing much Perl code these days, I have to admit that the whole Perl 6 thing has been going for years now and I’m one of those many people who were confused by it. In my opinion, Perl 6 is not a continuation of Perl 5 as a version bump (like in Python or PHP), but it is a different language. And as a different language, it should have a different name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the ones mentioned in the blog post, I like the “Raku” the best. But given the negative connotation in some countries, cultures, and languages, “Camelia” seems like a better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the alternative names, I want the change from “Perl 6” to anything else the sooner, the better.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
