Developers of the Perl language are discussing<\/a><\/noindex> the possibility of developing Perl 6 under a different name. Initially, Perl 6 was suggested to be renamed to «Camelia», but then attention shifted<\/a><\/noindex> turned to the name suggested by Larry Wall, «Raku», which is shorter, associated with the existing perl6 compiler «Rakudo» and does not overlap with other projects in search engines. The name Camelia was proposed because it is an existing name of a mascot and logo of Perl 6<\/a><\/noindex>, a trademark owned by Larry Wall.<\/a><\/noindex> Among the reasons for the need for a renaming is the emergence of a situation where two different languages have formed under the same name, each having its own developer communities. Perl 6 has not become the next significant branch of Perl as expected, and can be considered a separate language created from scratch. Due to<\/p>\n

the radical differences from Perl 5, a large number of Perl 5 adherents, an excessively long development cycle (the first release of Perl 6 was issued after 15 years of development), and a large accumulated codebase, two independently evolving languages have emerged, incompatible with each other at the source code level. In this situation, Perl 5 and Perl 6 can be viewed as related languages, with a relationship akin to that between C and C++.<\/a><\/noindex> Using the same name for these languages leads to confusion, and many users continue to view Perl 6 as a new version of Perl, rather than fundamentally a different language. Moreover, some members of the Perl 6 developer community hold this view, insisting that Perl 6 is evolving as a replacement for Perl 5, even though Perl 5 development is ongoing and the porting of Perl 5 projects to Perl 6 is limited to isolated cases. Meanwhile, the name Perl continues<\/p>\n

to be associated with Perl 5, and mentioning Perl 6 requires separate clarification.<\/a><\/noindex> Larry Wall <\/p>\n

, the creator of the Perl language, in his<\/a><\/noindex>video address to the participants of the PerlCon 2019 conference made it clear that both versions of Perl have already reached sufficient maturity and their developing communities do not require oversight and can make decisions independently, including about renaming, without asking permission from the 'Gentle Giant Dictator'.<\/a><\/noindex> made it clear to the participants of the PerlCon 2019 conference that both variants of Perl have already matured sufficiently and that their developing communities no longer require oversight and can independently make decisions, including about renaming, without seeking permission from the «Benevolent Dictator For Life».<\/p>\n

The initiator of the renaming was Elizabeth Mattijsen, who is among the core developers of Perl 6. Curtis «Ovid» Poe, the creator of the CPAN directory, supported<\/a><\/noindex> Elizabeth believes that the need for renaming has long been overdue and, despite the divided opinions in the community on the matter, delaying the name change is not advisable. Given that Perl 6's performance is finally on par with Perl 5, and in some operations, it starts to outperform Perl 5, now might be the best time for Perl 6 to change its name.<\/p>\n

As an additional argument, the negative impact of Perl 5's established image on the promotion of Perl 6 has been mentioned, with some developers and companies perceiving it as a complicated and outdated language. In several discussions, developers have even dismissed the possibility of using Perl 6 simply because of their negative preconceptions against Perl. Among young people, Perl is seen as a language from a distant past, not worth using in new projects (similar to how young developers viewed COBOL in the 90s). <\/p>\n
