The greatest trick the Devil ever played was renaming Perl 6 to Raku.
This is a very funny comment given the context.

A quote from the Christian Bible Luke 5:36,37

Agreed. The "Perl 6 is a different language" meme was so overdone. To anyone who actually used Perl 5 the continuity was obvious.
That's an interesting way to describe the English language.
I've often thought of Raku as being a lot like the English language. It borrows heavily from other languages.

Of course since Raku has the benefit of an actual designer, it is more cohesive than English.
