About:
Rakudo is the official, mature implementation of the Raku language, a modern, expressive language built on the MoarVM and JVM runtimes. It enables developers to write concise, maintainable code with powerful features like grammars, gradual typing, and a rich concurrency model for building robust applications.
Key Features:
  • Advanced object-oriented and functional programming features
  • Built-in concurrency model with promises and supplies
  • Powerful grammar engine for parsing and DSLs
  • Gradual typing for flexible code safety
Use Cases:
  • Rapid prototyping and scripting
  • Building domain-specific languages (DSLs)
  • Data processing and text manipulation
Alternatives:
