Re^2: Last best chance to alias "Perl6" ?

Yes, that's why I said "de facto" rename ... since it's clear that Zoffix' goal is to end use of the name "Perl 6" in order to disambiguate between what he states clearly are two different languages.

I'm glad that "Perl6" boosters are finally acknowledging that fact in public, up to and including Larry Wall. But Larry's contention that there's a single culture incorporating Perl and "Perl6" is just clinging to a long-discredited fantasy.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

Anyway, it seems to me like your feelings on this topic might be a lot stronger than mine. By the way, in case you haven't been to a Perl Conference yet or recently, I can very much recommend it - I went to my second one this year and it was great!	[reply]
