OOC how many people would be interested in a Perl 6 Corporate Look n' Feel type site? Where everything is just designed to be boring and on message for production use in a business setting. Front page has Docker deployment and continuous integration setup steps etc. (that all exists and works FYI) Everything would be muted colours and mostly cloning the style of https://www.haskell.org/ or https://nodejs.org/en/ or e…
Larry Wall's discussion on the logo, Camelia ( https://raw.githubusercontent.com/perl6/mu/master/misc/camel... ): Discussion Highlights ===================== From: Larry Wall Date: March 24, 2009 10:25 Subject: Re: Logo considerations [...] I think there's a tendency to go way too abstract in most of these proposals. I want something with gut appeal on the order of Tux. In particular I want a logo for Perl 6 that is:…
I don't get it. How does disliking a butterfly logo equate to hating women?
This reminds me of when jQuery had a cartoon ninja on their homepage. Am I seriously looking at a page targeted at grown adults with a talking butterfly on it?
And yet, everybody loves Go.
I'm encouraged that this website looks this bad. We're in the last seizures before dying of Perl. Seriously, look around at the other options, they're all better. All of them. I'm so tired of this delusional community. Let Perl be legacy; turn the lights out.

2. Liking Go != liking the mascot
3. I think most would agree this is ridiculous: https://www.googlemerchandisestore.com/Google+Redesign/Brand...

I think there's something to this. Whether it's logical or not, a language is partially judged on its web site. The Ruby and Python sites are less whimsical: https://www.ruby-lang.org https://www.python.org I want the language given a chance based on its merits, not dismissed because of a cartoonish site.
Fit your tutorial to the desired age of your audience. If something is a virtual machine just start your tutorial calling it 'our virtual machine'. Explain briefly what is a virtual machine, instead to say that is a butterfly with violet wings or something (not everybody knows what to do with this stuff). If is a compiler, call it compiler and go as quick as possible to the next step of the tutorial before to lose the interest of your audience. Is not 'how is named' or 'how cute', is 'what can you do with it' and 'how to use it with the other pieces' what matters.
If you want to use names, at least try to be consistent with the names and designs. If you want to name something 'rakudo' and want to show your sensitive side, great, name the other thing 'sazanka' or so. Something nice, humble, but useful at the same time. Something that can helps you to make a mental image of the whole picture of this 'paradise' landscape in a couple of seconds.

I might perceive this differently because of my cultural background, but isn't it a bit misandric to claim masculinity as unsensitive?
