Raku (formerly known as Perl 6) is a clean, modern, multi-paradigm language; it offers procedural, object-oriented AND functional programming methodologies. It is a supremely flexible language, adapting to your style of programming, whether that be quick one­liners for sysadmins, scripts to manage a database import, or the full stack of modules necessary to realise an entire website.
