Part of me wants to go send Perl some money, because it was so important in my formative years. Another part of me is like "people still use perl?"

Raku is now a completely separate language from Perl and I think that while Perl still seem to be used, Raku usage is even smaller

I am really impressed of how Raku developers keep their motivation to work on it

And I am a bit curious to know if Proxmox is interested in Raku at all, or are they only using Perl

proxmox is heavily based on perl

...and when looking through the sources, I thought <the proxmox folks> "still use perl?"

I guess proxmox IS 17 years old...
