Hi All,

I personally do not care if we call Perl 6 "The Flying
Zucchini".

But what I really like is that I can now to a web search
on "raku" and not get 3,264,682,533 hits on Perl 5
that I have to frustratingly sort through to find what
I want.

So I am a happy camper with the new name.

Just out of curiosity, was this the intention
of the new name?

    The Japanese word raku, pronounced "rah-koo", is a
    commonly-used word that means comfort, ease, or
    relief.

Having used several other programming languages in
my lifetime, if this was the intention, I do have to
say the name fits

:-)
