I have fiddled with Raku but it feels like a language thats from a parallel universe to Perl which might not get serious adoption. When I look at languages I evaluate them by libraries available for UI, database access, networking libraries and web frameworks primarily.
lol
Thanks for giving Raku a test drive (https://raku.org)
While Raku can access all the perl CPAN modules and Python modules via Inline::Perl5 and Inline::Python, I agree native modules are also a good indication of the level of "adoptability" of a language.
I would say that Raku is currently ready for "bleeding edge" and "early-adopters" but not for "early-main" (terms from Crossing the Chasm)
For example, there are three pretty nice actively maintained web framework libraries:
For me the strength of being an early adopter is that the community is small and friendly (with many experts who help me out) and that I can be an influential contributor to shape the ecosystem to do things that meet my needs. And this is not in an ocean of cruft (like CPAN and Python).Similar stories for each of the domains you mention: https://chatgpt.com/share/68c67f75-d654-8009-9c8d-fdb1081869...
