Raku and Rakudo are different words.
“Raku” is the anglicized form of “楽”, which means “easy”. (It is also a form of pottery.)
“Rakuda do” is supposed to be “way of the camel”.
“Rakudo” is “Rakuda do” but shortened/portmanteau.
“Rakudo” is also supposed to mean “paradise”.

I want to know how “easy” and “paradise” are not considered different words.
And “Rakudo Star” is the “Rakudo” compiler combined with a bunch of useful modules. So it makes a lot of sense for it to contain “Rakudo”, because it does indeed include “Rakudo”.

It also makes a certain amount of sense that “Rakudo” is a thing which you use to “do” "Raku".
