In the vast realm of modern programming languages, some rise to prominence while others remain forever in the shadows. Raku, initially named Perl 6, is one such language that, despite its powerful features, has failed to gather a developer base large enough to cause the language to become mainstream. Here's my take on why Raku has failed to catch on, based on personal experience, observation, and lots of waiting.
I wanted to learn to create a dynamically-named method inside a dynamically-named class in Raku. This is what I ended up with:
#!/usr/bin/env raku
my $class-name = "MyDynamicClass";
my $method-name = "dynamic-method";
