And we can always think of a scheme for codenames, and have that
scheme be the theme for perl6.
Hmm, if perl5 was the Camel in the desert, perhaps perl6 should adopt
a coral reef/Caribbean/tropical theme. Component and release names
like:
Bermuda (perhaps name 6.0, 6.2, etc. after countries?)
Umbrella (from the drinks)
Tan
Coral
Clown Fish
Anemone (guaranteed that 20% of people will be able to spell it)
Nautilus
Crown of Thorns
Atoll
This iconography has many plus sides:
marketing: it is a more positive image than the Camel
travel: much more fun to organize a perl6 conference in the Bahamas
creative: lots of interesting names to pick from
vivid: lots of good images for book covers and t-shirts
