Raku

It is already an old news: Perl 6 has definetely changed its name to Raku **.

I don’t like it. Period.
I don’t like because I love the **Perl name, and for me it is fine to express with a single word the fact that I can work with Perl 5 and Perl 6, or more in general, with Perl!

However, it seems that Perl as a single name was making too much confusion in the people minds, and since the compiler was already named Rakudo, I believe the language has been named *Raku**.
Of course, the official website already reflect it in its description and also in the redirection of the name:



Long life to Raku!
