Re:Is Perl 6 Being Renamed?

(#20829324)
Could it be that the Perl language (and especially Perl 5) but as a community in general, is established and mature, and very stable, that the only things that are mentioned are just not the things that newer, fast moving languages such as Rust and Go talk about? I don't think that the naming situation is trivial, I really think it has had a negative effect on both Perl 5 and Perl 6.

No, it's also declining. If not for anything else, because most younger devs won't touch it (either 5 or 6).
