==A Note on the Renaming==
The renaming of "Perl 6" as "Raku" occurred in October 2019. Since the old name had been in use for many years, it will take some time for the new designation to propagate widely. Expect to see both names in use for some time, but understand that they refer to exactly the same underlying idea. In particular, here on Rosetta Code essentially tasks are all tasks are currently listed under Perl 6, and there are no immediate plans to change this.
