"Perl" in the name "Perl 6" is confusing and irritating

byElizabeth Mattijsen ( ELIZABETH This is a ticket with a long discussion on changing the name of Perl 6 to Camelia, Raku, ofun, or whatever. (Not *). A fun read even if you don't want to voice your opinion. Personally I don't know if a name change will make any difference in attracting new people to either of the languages, but at least it will, hopefully, let the two communities stop fighting and get a peaceful divorce.

Enjoy Modern Perl with a properly Agile team in Manchester; mid-Level Perl Developer

Tired of seeing endless London-based Perl jobs? Want to program Modern Perl in the Glorious North instead, where the people are friendly, the tea tastes right, and you don’t have to share a city with Boris Johnson?

You’re Leaving, On a Jet Plane . . .

Let’s face it—your current job is missing something. Maybe you’re sick of Gary nuking his salmon in the microwave, or maybe you’ll scream if Susan sends you one more cat video. Sure, there are other jobs in your city, but maybe it’s time to think bigger. You know where everything is bigger? Texas, baby!

Come be a Perl developer in the smartest city in the USA
