Sorry, something went wrong. |
||
- frees up higher versioning of "Perl" | ||
- removes source of Perl community stress | ||
- is a cool name that should appeal to younger people | ||
- name should better appeal to non-english native speakers | ||
- should be easier to get distinctive TIOBE rating | ||
|
||
## Weaknesses | ||
|
||
- will *still* be linked to "Perl" because of historical connection | ||
- may be hard to find using search engines, at least initially | ||
- must start with TIOBE rating from scratch | ||
|
||
## Opportunities | ||
|
||
- could be considered a brand new language, and thus more interesting to some | ||
- should re-invigorate development | ||
- should re-invigorate marketing | ||
- with better branding, should be able to get easier sponsorships / grants | ||
- may get core developers who have left, back into the core team | ||
- could be marketed as a programming language without corporate backing, and thus free from corporate influencing / agenda | ||
- could be marketed as the 100-year language properly | ||

||
- may lose current core developers because of name change | ||
- may be made fun of as the language that cannot make up its mind | ||
- may cause incompatibities / breakage that will reflect badly on overall image | ||
- may not get enough traction to grow anyway |
Removes the confusion that Perl聽6 is Perl version 6(a new version of Perl).
