Re: poll ideas quest 2018

Now that Perl 6 has an official alias, Raku, Perl 5 should also have one, and it should be...

Flix - rhymes with UNIX®
Piku - Raku and Piku sound like protagonists of an epic romance
V - a roman numeral like C, but alliterates with victory
Sebos - in Dalmatian mythology, Raku is the goddess of youth, while Sebos is the god of longevity [citation needed]
Quilt - finely crafted from lots of patches
5lang - the language with 5 in its name, also somewhat like slang
$LANG - like slang as above, only much more stupid
Onion - blends well with the TPF logo
Cowboy Neal
other: [insert name here]
none - Perl 5 does not need a nickname

Given the rage that the alias for perl6 caused, I'd say don't even think of starting a suggestion to discuss this. It is useless and unneeded and probably ends with many users being angry or disappointed and maybe even people that leave the community. Perl6 did not need an alias, and neither does perl5.

(Tux) Given the rage that the alias for perl6 caused, ... ... we definitely need to relax. A fun poll might be just the thing. Although of course somebody is bound to not catch the joke. Let's add more funny choices to make this less likely — or less relevant.	[reply]

Perl6 did not need an alias, and neither does perl5. Both Perl5 and Perl6 needed an alias for Perl6. Perl5 is widely known as "Perl" and does not need to dissociate from itself. Perl5 needs forks like rperl and cperl and webperl.	[reply]
