Yes, I meant Perl 5. Raku is a totally different beast. I got interested in Perl exactly because of its scripting capabilities. I want to replace Bash, sed, awk, etc. with a single, more powerful, language (without having to remember a billion flags/strange syntax). I think it's fascinating how well it integrates in a Unix system and I find it very nice how concise it can get.
