Deer, kangaroos, alligators, why not sea lions?

I know about racket & raco, now something I never heard of before today (seen on HN), raku: https://course.raku.org/

Isn’t this Perl 6?

OMG you’re right. I totally forgot. I completely forgot about Perl 6, even though I wrote a lot of Perl between 1994 and 2006.

Yeah, the rename happened (IIUC) b/c Perl 6 had sort of deviated from Perl enough that they wanted a new name to not confuse people? Smth like that

@alama thanks for that lovely diversion
