IMHO, preferably in semi-universal "languages" (such as math, programming notation), so as not to overly discriminate against other major natural languages (versus all of them :-). OTOH, "Perl++" is already a multi-way pun, and is also multiply semi-self-descriptive. (((((((((((-: Along those lines, "++Lisp++" is tempting name, but would {likely, unintentionally} offend most pro-Lispers, and less cosmopolitan Perlers would {likely, unfortunately} not recognize this as overwhelmingly positive comment on Perl6. Related claim: very roughly speaking, Lisp:AI prog <--> Perl6:NI prog, but where Perl NI (Natural Intelligence) programming will eventually both {subsume, exceed} traditional Lisp AI prog, due to much better P2H (Program to Human) "cognitive impedance matching". Related analogy: In terms of notation, Perl6 versus modern Lisps is analogous to "deism versus dotism" in calculus notation (Leibnitz's "d/dx notation" versus Newton's "dot notation"). The d-notation (especially when enhanced with "quasi-sigils" distinguishing full derivatives, partial derivatives, loop integrals, and so on) proved very much easier to "naturally" comprehend and use--especially for increasingly {sophisticated, complex} applications. For decades after the Leibnitz/Newton inventions of calculus, dogged adherence to dotism had a considerable stultifying effect on its users, relative to the rapidly progressing deists (for whom combinational play with the notation suggested many {important, powerful} {applications, theorems, proofs}), and so dotism was eventually abandoned. The main difference here is that Perl6 came along well after modern Lisp, and had the prior examples of {Smalltalk, Python, Ruby, Perl5, and so on} to suggest better "human interfaces" for incorporating "Lisp's greatest hits" (among other things). :-))))))))))) BTW, back to the original topic, "Perlcosm" is also semi-punish, and s/co/ga/ is perhaps too much more so. :-) But I still {prefer, vote for} Perl++ as the name of the primary meta-wiki for all things Perl.
