: Why not parrot, again?
Too many dead parrot jokes? Too many lousy acronyms?

Since it's something underlying Perl, I'd suggest a decrement of
"Perl", which would of course be "Perk". The Java engine would have
to be "Perj", I guess, which seems fitting somehow. The C# engine might
be "Peri" because it's around whether you like it or not.
Then Perl language variants could go the other way and be:
Perm Micro Perl
Pern Nano Perl
Pero Java Perl
Perp Python Perl
Perq Quick Perl
Perr Ruby Perl
Pers Strict Perl
Pert Typesafe Perl
Peru Unforgivable Perl
Perv Vectorized Perl
Perw Wonky Perl
Perx Experimental Perl
Pery Yet Another Perl
Perz Zany Perl

'Course, at that rate, we eventually get back to "Pisa"...
Appearances notwithstanding, I am seriously suggesting "Perk". The name
is, er, perky. Hopefully the implementation would be too.
