Raku outperforms perl5 and cpython on quite a few benchmarks, and has for a couple of years now. Some of the ‘nice’ features have pathological performance, but if it becomes a problem in practice you have recourse.

Hope so. Want to try it out. I bought and read most of the llama and camel books years ago, at Perl v4 or so. Ditto for the Perl Cookbook. (All 3 by O'Reilly. Some of those Cookbooks were very good. Also had the Python and Java Cookbooks.)
Enjoyed them (the Perl books). But didn't get a chance to use Perl in non-trivial real projects.
