So this node is just to point out that references to "Raku" should probably be included in the PerlMonks description I admit that I don't know what counts for the PerlMonks description - maybe What is PerlMonks? That node has not been updated to include a statement about Perl 5 vs. Perl 6, and in my opinion it should just stick to "Perl" and any mention of Raku would just be wrong. PerlMonks has very few nodes with Raku content. The Perl 6 community doesn't advertise PerlMonks, I don't know if it ever did. A Raku community is even less likely to refer to PerlMonks. Their presence in various discussion forums makes it clear that Raku doesn't actually need PerlMonks. I feel that explicitly writing that PerlMonks is open for Raku topics would be intrusive and against the spirit of the renaming, and writing that it doesn't welcome Raku content would look like we'd explicitly single out Raku among all the topics which don't belong to PerlMonks. The only downside is that the Raku community will take PerlMonks with its "Perl = Perl 5" attitude as example why the renaming was necessary. Now that the renaming has happened, I'm absolutely fine with this.
