This is not going to be faster in the general case, only when the
operations done at every step take enough time, and the array is big
enough. In the general case, this might be even slower. Also, it's lower
case hyper, and it must go before the operation to be "hypered", like map.

Yep, you can just write:
my %a = 'column1' => [1...5], 'column2' => ['a'...'e']
Raku knows it's a hash, it can figure out the two Pairs go there.

:= is for variable binding; you could do something like
my %a := {'column1' => [1...5], 'column2' => ['a'...'e']}
Which will bind lhs to rhs, saying: yes, I know that's a hash, that's
exactly what I want. No warning then. That's where you had to use binding.

Hope that helps. You might want to have a look at the documentation, too:
