Wait, wasn't Perl 6 rebranded as new language Raku?


I believe so, after years of being vapourware and basically stopping Perl 5 development right when web as a platform started being important.


Perl 6 did get released, with that name, after years stuck in development (source: https://developers.slashdot.org/story/15/12/26/0354235/perl-...). Only later was it rebranded.


In 2019 to be precise: https://raku.org
