I'm about to publish some blog posts with using Perl 6 to demonstrate some cryptographic primitives. I was thinking about calling it "rakudo" to at least intrigue people and make them google it. Couldn't we call the language rakudo and the implementation nqp-rakudo? (ie a rakudo implementation in nqp)
