This language looks cool! I also really like the page-by-page format for the tutorial, which strikes exactly the right balance (for me) between giving too little and too much info.

As a side note, I noticed that the "Notes on using Unicode" page[1] referred to the quotation marks used in kanji-based languages[2] as "fancy." I think this kind of exotification of non-western cultures (where mundane things become exciting or "fancy" because it's not from your culture) can be a kind of cultural "code smell" that warns off non-western developers. Even if it comes from a humorous or enthusiastic place, an outsider just sees someone getting weirdly excited about a normal thing.

That is useful feedback. As far as I know, Raku docs have changed in the past to remove cultural in-jokes or smells.

Thanks. I've updated that.

Nice! As a side note, I think it's very cool that Raku supports multiple quote characters. It's unusual to see that in source code and, while I code mostly in English, I imagine it would be nice for people writing in other languages.
