What is your project? Raku has some cool features and interesting syntax, I took a look at it before the rename, but find myself reaching for Python for basically everything.

- klibertp 4y agoRaku is a really nice language. I especially like the features that improve safety of the code: gradual typing, subsets, PRE and POST conditions, and defined/undefined checks. Junctions and multimethods are also nice. I have an article - not finished, and probably won't ever finish it, unfortunately - showcasing these features: https://klibert.pl/statics/raku/writeup.html https://klibert.pl/statics/raku/writeup.html I think Raku deserves way more attention. Its implementation is suboptimal in many ways and it's improving slowly due to very small core team. With more exposure, more people would come, and hopefully some of them would consider contributing, accelerating the pace of development.
