+- Why such name ?
+  - In short: it's just a number.
+  - Many years ago inspired by the ideas of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_(programming_language)][Forth (programming
+    language)]] I decided to create my own implementation [[http://www2.svjatoslav.eu/gitbrowse/fifth/doc/index.html][Fifth]]
+    (computing/programming environment).
+  - Then I realized I miss type safe object oriented capabilities. So
+    I updated the name to Sixth and switched to Java.
