I messed around with Raku and it is seriously underrated. If anyone hasn't yet I would recommend giving it a try. It still does all the cool stuff Perl 5 can do but with the features you would expect from a modern language baked in. Raku and the core modules are solid and can be used in production but unfortunately the overall ecosystem is still struggling. 3rd party modules can be hit or miss. I found several of them weren't well maintained or seemed abandoned.
