> are they trolling? Nope. You are just underinformed or confused. There are several names because they are for several things; mind that there is a distinction between language spec and implementation, just like with C, C++ and numerous others. ① https://perl6.org/specification/ https://perl6.org/specification/ 6.c and 6.d are version numbers for the language specification, for which exist several implementations.
