Raku is a seriously cool programming language, but it is still not at the level to where I'll put in learning effort past all the tutorials I've read in the past. When it reaches maturity, I could see myself using it in some hobby projects. It seems like it has a good bit of the power you see in languages like Smalltalk, but in a more accessible package.

I haven’t used Raku for anything big, but I do use it for a lot of small projects. I find the expressiveness great and I can get things done with minimum fuss. It’s especially good for command-line tools where a MAIN function gives a CLI with parameters and autogenerated usage.
