I had to look up GLR: the "Great List Refactor".

"What exactly is the “Great List Refactor” (GLR)? For several years Rakudo developers and users have identified a number of problems with the existing implementation of list types — most notably performance. But we’ve also observed the need for user-facing changes in the design, especially in generating and flattening lists. So the term GLR now encompasses all of the list-related changes that seem to want to be made."
