Re: FFS

What used to be called "perl6" is now called Raku ... Pretty much everybody involved knew that perl would continue as perl after "perl6" was ready to go ... most surmised "perl6" would gain a new name, and most of them knew it would probably be Raku some dozenish years before Larry made it official.

Why the python people didn't go a similar route is beyond me. Probably control issues.
