    In any case, on the language choice we are in agreement: as of now Raku is not a popular language, so requiring a user of the system to know the language cannot provide much appeal to the project.

    FWIW, for this application, I’d say only knowledge of “baby” Raku is needed. And if you’ve had any exposure to “baby” Perl in the past, then you already have that.

      Yeah I mean I knew Perl back in the 90s. I’m not super keen to relearn it just for this. Why not use a more mainstream language?

      (I’m guessing the answer is “because I made this for me, and I want to try Raku” or something, which is fine.)
