Re:Is Perl 6 Being Renamed? by dragonwriter on Thursday August 29, 2019 @04:05PM (#20833079)
Perl 6 -> SQL

Perl 6.c, Perl 6.d -> SQL-2011, SQL-2016

Rakudo Star -> MySQL

Rakudo compiler backends (for MoarVM, JVM, JS) -> MySQL storage engines (InnoDB, MyISAM, ...)

Having different names for languages, language spec versions, language implementations, and backends doesn't seem unknown in successful projects.

Other than the problem of “Perl” in the name, all of this is fairly boringly normal.
