So, as you probably know, Larry Wall announced the alias 'Raku' for Perl 6.
Sorry for waking up an old thread, but I can't find another place it gets mentioned here on PM. So from the #perl6 IRC Logs:

<TimToady> Zoffix: just a heads up wrt the alias, which I'm thinking of as "It's the stage name (but Perl 6 still cashes the checks)"; at the moment I'm liking Raku the best for a short name (it's 4 letters like Enya or Pink or Gaga), with long names of either Raku-go or Go-raku (where "go" is Japanese 語 for "language") because I'm not terribly fond of the "-lang" neologism
<TimToady> Ofun is a close second, but unfortunately "fun" is Japanese for excrement :)
<TimToady> also Raku pottery is "imperfect but sophisticated", so that's a fit :)
<TimToady> most of the existing uses of "raku" in trademarks appears to be for medical supplies or food processing
<TimToady> and there doesn't seem to be an existing "raku" command, at least that Linux Mint knows about
...
(And BTW, <update> although I admit I don't mind the "Raku" name, </update> I'm not endorsing anything here or stating an opinion, just saving this for the public record :-) )

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
