in thread It has been suggested to rename Perl 6 in order to boost its marketing potential. Which name would you prefer?

She knows that. Just as she knows that PerlRe is full of warnings like "WARNING: This extended regular expression feature is considered experimental, and may be changed without notice.", that will never go away.

Lies and misdirection: the only remaining hope for Perl6! What a crying shame.

    I don't know what's sadder: the fact that the use of Perl 5 ithreads is being discouraged by p5p, or that you basically are no longer taking p5p seriously:

    PerlRe is full of warnings like "WARNING: This extended regular expression feature is considered experimental, and may be changed without notice.", that will never go away.

    With regards to:

    Lies and misdirection: the only remaining hope for Perl6!

    The fact that you are saying this seems to me to be in direct conflict with:

    In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice

    Fortunately there's a lot more hope for Perl 5 and Perl 6 than that you are willing to acknowledge.
