Raku is a really nice language. I especially like the features that improve safety of the code: gradual typing, subsets, PRE and POST conditions, and defined/undefined checks. Junctions and multimethods are also nice. I have an article - not finished, and probably won't ever finish it, unfortunately - showcasing these features: https://klibert.pl/statics/raku/writeup.html

I think Raku deserves way more attention. Its implementation is suboptimal in many ways and it's improving slowly due to very small core team. With more exposure, more people would come, and hopefully some of them would consider contributing, accelerating the pace of development.
