What is Raku?

Raku unifies many great ideas that aren't usually found in other programming languages. While several other languages offer some of these features, none of them offer all.

Features:

  • Object-oriented programming including generics, roles and multiple dispatch
  • Functional programming primitives, lazy and eager list evaluation, junctions, autothreading and hyperoperators (vector operators)
  • Parallelism, concurrency, and asynchrony including multi-core support
  • Definable grammars for pattern matching and generalized string processing
  • Optional and gradual typing
