If that is your basis for evaluation, then I don't think Raku is for you.

But I think you are missing out, not just on Raku but on lots of cool stuff that is not being used "in serious applications".

There is time and place for boring tech, like when you are building a banking backend or something. But there is much more to life than churning out banking backends, and Raku is well suited for those other endeavors.
