It's not the name of the commands that bother me; it's literally everything else from the operators, the sigils, to how functions are defined. There is no excuse to make a new language that re-invents nearly every basic syntactic principle or borrows from the worst examples (bash, perl). Although the naming isn't great either; the use of namespace prefixes rather than a flat namespace of long names might have been a better (and more logical) choice. It would have even allowed for better auto-complete.
