Some of these are halfway familiar. Hyper sounds like a more ad-hoc version of something from recursion-schemes, and * as presented is somewhat similar to Scala _ (which I love for lambdas and think every language should adopt something similar).

I think this is the closest equivalent for hyper: https://groovy-lang.org/operators.html#_spread_operator
It is absolutely mindbending to me that all of this language development has happened on top of Perl, of all things.
Edit: Other than a configuration framework and a test harness.
# Does weird things with nested lists too > [1, [2, 3], 4, 5] > [10, 20] [11 [22 23] 14 25] This article makes me feel like I'm watching a Nao Geo/Animal Planet documentary. Beautiful and interesting to see these creatures in the wild? Absolutely. Do I want to keep my distance? As far away as possible.
You're making a mistake if you're thinking like that. Applying an operation that generally works on single values over a list of values automatically is an incredibly powerful technique. If you have ever used Numpy, you will appreciate not needing it in many cases where Raku's built-ins suffice.
Indeed, the defining technique of array programming!

Wow. Sign me up for leaving the industry before I ever have to maintain a Raku codebase.
Funny, cause reading that blog post made me want to quit my job and find a raku team to work with. Maybe I'm still too naive :)
your entire comment is syntactically valid raku, or can be made so, because raku syntax is so powerful and flexible.
raku grammars ftw!

even that last little fella above, is or can be made syntactically valid.
