Hi Radhakrishnan,
I think the question you are asking directly relates to your
experience as a programmer. If you have a lot of experience and a
"systems programming toolkit" under your belt (classic bash shell
scripting, sed, awk, and perl_5 ), what does Raku/Perl6 add? The short
answer is:
There is potentially a place for Raku in education, as a language that
can evolve from simple expressions in the REPL to one-liners, basic
scripts and through to complete CS courses with the various
programming paradigms (procedural, O-O, functional) and into language
design with grammars.

No particular "killer app" has emerged for Raku as
of yet, there's no task that's going to make you go
"Aha, this is a job for Raku!". But you know, it's
not as though the original perl was designed to be
the Web 1.0 server-side scripting language or the
saviour of the human genome project...
Hi,
If you allow me to jump in.
I have used scores of programming languages. For me, raku (as it is now
called) is the language to go to if I need a serious textual analysis of
any kind.
The design aspect of the language that I rely on heavily is the Grammar
class, which so fundamentally

Richard, excellently said!
I would like to see that on our Raku.org
Hi Radhakrishnan,
If 'spreading wings over the information technology field' were to mean
anything other than what is fashionable today, then C still reigns.
And if anything, COBOL still is so important in big financial
institutions that COBOL programmers earn more than Java programmers - if
