in reply to Ovid's take on the renaming of "Perl6"

What's worse is that Perl 6 is often tainted by the name "Perl". Routinely I see in numerous online discussions that people refuse to even consider Perl 6 because they hate Perl.

Perfect pull quote.

    Wait -- Routinely? Or objectively? (Or functionally?)

      "Routinely" as in "on a regular basis". Consistently, but not often enough to rate as "frequently".

        Discussions regarding Perl 6 are so rare that even if they all contained that claim, it would still not be frequent.

    which is actually a reason why (a successor to) Perl 5 needs to be rebranded.

    ( Like many Germans did after the WWs, compare "Alsatian" Shepherds or "Swedish" Trump ;-)
