Awesome.
The Raku compiler is written in Raku (to an extent) so no it can't be toned
down. I've been out of the loop for a while, but there has been work to

You clearly understand the situation!
What can I say?
Ah, I know. *PLONK*

Dear Larry Wall,
Sorry for writing you directly, but I know you
sometimes answer questions on this mailing list.
And those answers are uniquely easy for a beginner
to understand.
The compile times of Perl5 and Perl6 are dramatically
different. Perl 5 is literally 100 times or more
faster than P
