I love it. My largest project is about 20k lines … so nothing too big. But if you need to be expedient (just quickly make a data extract/load/transform or a command line thingy) it is great fun. The LLMs seem to be pretty good too, just the usual hallucination here and there.
I thought it was useful information for people who did not know this. Of course Wikipedia would have sufficed, too: "Raku, formerly known as Perl 6 [...]".
I hear you were coming from the angle of being useful. In a sense that's what matters most, and I love that you have that spirit.
If Wikipedia has deadnamed Raku with grace then that might be a model to follow, but in general it's far from helpful unless it's done carefully. There's a reason why the community embarked on the somewhat painful multi decade process of renaming it. To try clarify my understanding I'll summarize it here.
Because of the original name for Raku, people assumed for a long time (long after it became problematically misleading) that it shared semantics, or syntax, or compiler tech, or libraries, or something technical like that, with some other programming language(s).
This was partly because Raku did indeed take some inspiration philosophically and/or technically from some existing languages (traces of a half dozen or so are evident), and partly because Raku and its compiler tech features the ability to use Python code and compilers, and C code and compilers, and Perl code and compilers, and so on, as if they were native Raku code/compilers.
But Raku was never C, or Python, or Perl, and the old name is unfortunately a form of deadnaming -- which is to say, something that is seldom helpful, especially if some commentary like this comment is not included.
At least, that's how I experience it.
That said, regardless of my view, I love your impulse of being helpful, which is why I've written this -- and I hope it does help any readers.
Have you used it in any large projects?
