> I've heard Perl described as a sort of linguist / grammatical type of language, where you can solve the same problem using multiple approaches and syntax. Is this something Raku is drifting from or embracing?

Very much embracing – "turning up to 11" might be a better way to put it. I recently wrote a three-part blog series[0] about what Raku's primary values, and the more-than-one-way-to-do-it idea features prominently in that list.
