Yea, sorry I'm not super familiar with the project, but that is the general vibe I get about Perl.

Interestingly enough 落(raku) also has the connotation of failure or missing the target, so not very auspicious in the context of a new language either!

Perl <=5 did make it, it was quite big in the 90s and early 2000s.
