I am searching for a cultural or historic answer here.

What's the idea behind the *::Tiny modules namespace, like Role::Tiny, Path::Tiny or Type::Tiny? I see and use more and more of them and would like to have a better cultural understanding of their underlying origins. In the past (I only started to use Perl circa 2011), I saw a lot of the similar *::Simple namespace modules and liked them quite a lot (I like easy to use things) and wonder if there is a different meaning or intention or if this is only because most of the namespaces where already taken, so Tiny is kind of a synonym for Simple?

I am sure some respectable monk would have some clues about this. Thanks!
