I am still defending that we need a package for data analysis/science/engineer (like the Perl5 PDL, Python Pandas or R data.table) and an IDE for streaming programming like jupyter or rstudio.
I'm not proficient in Raku, but I may help to dev it. We might take advantage of some C++ packages such as xtensor and xframe. Why? I should answer: "Why not?". But data technologies are growing fast and require a lot of new options (in my experience). Async, parallelism builtin are goodies to use with data processes.
