Over the years I have learned and dipped my toes in many programming languages, and I'd need some kind of reason to look into yet another language. What are Raku's main contributions to the programming language design space that I probably haven't seen elsewhere?
Sadly only first part is complete. Raku is the much more functionally inspired new Perl. It’s the renaming of Perl 6 and means “camel” or “paradise” in Japanese.

Is Perl/Raku widely used these days? Are they worth learning? I've always been curious about those languages but I've had the impression that people are moving away from them.
Perl may not be as popular now as it was in the past, but it is still around and lots of legacy systems that were written in Perl are still in active use.
I'm not talking about gluing stuff together with scripts - I mean a large project operating wholly under it

Is perl or "Raku" still used in serious new applications these days? I'm not talking about gluing stuff together with scripts - I mean a large project operating wholly under it
