Raku is pretty awesome actually, but it's community is pretty small.

Yes, that is to be expected, with all the issues behind it and Perl and the transition.

I wrote a few things in raku. Pretty nice compared to perl and inline perl5 was a nice way to get a lot of easy functionality

How is its performance nowadays?

Yeah, Raku has some neat features like being able to build parsers directly with the language.

Also sub range types, when clauses, ternary conditional expressions, anonymous subroutines, methods on values, and more.
