about Perl 6 (Raku)

Perl 6 (Raku) in the cloud, ready in under a minute.

Perl 6, now officially named Raku, is a redesign of Perl that adds a modern type system, concurrency support, and a more consistent syntax. It keeps Perl's strengths in text processing while introducing gradual typing, multi-dispatch, and native async and await. RunCode gives you a Raku workspace with the runtime preinstalled, ready to use in under a minute.

What Raku adds to Perl's foundation

Raku was designed to address common criticisms of Perl while keeping the parts that made Perl effective for text and data work. It introduces a richer type system, better object-oriented foundations, and first-class concurrency. Key additions include:

  • Flexible, expressive syntax with gradual typing
  • Object-oriented programming with inheritance, roles, and abstract classes
  • A rich standard library with built-in data types
  • Concurrency support: parallelism and async programming
  • Wide range of types including strings, arrays, and hashes
