Zoffix provides a relevant discussion on the Perl vs. Rakudo name for the not exactly a successor to Perl 5 language at <http://blogs.perl.org/users/zoffix_znet/2017/07/the-hot-new-language-named-rakudo.html>.

I’ve been in the “rename it” camp for a year, not that I’ve shared that with anyone that would listen. Zoffix provides some good reasons why that is not as easy as it sounds. Drop by his blog for a look at a possible solution.
