This thread highlights one of the key differences between the design processes behind #RakuLang and #Perl.
Raku's design all came from the question "What could I build if I could basically start again from scratch? What ideas might I have? How do I build a coherent whole from this blank canvas?"
Perl's ongoing design is all rooted in "What would I use right now in this real code I am writing today? What features would I like to have that I currently do not?"
