  Perl 6 started the design process in 2000, which is before many of these people were even born. So instead of trying to win the race claiming to be the hare, be proud of being the tortoise ;-)

  I read '6lang' as 'six-lang', which decomposes nicely to 'slang' in my ears. Of course, 'Slang' proper is already taken as the name of a programming language (as is 'S-Lang').

  In the end, I mostly agree with https://blogs.perl.org/users/yuki_kimoto/2017/10/6lang-naming-proposal-is-good.html.

  Show Perl 6 code to a non-Perl programmer and let him/her decide. He/She will definitely answer "it's Perl".

  Could be x-lang (eks-lang). Not so bad, not taken as far as I know.
