Same as Perl, nobody wants to maintain it, but it's extremely fun to write. It has a lot of expression.
You can see that in Raku's ability to define keyword arguments with a shorthand (e.g. :global(:$g)' as well as assuming a value of 'True', so you can just call match(/foo/, :g) to get a global regex match). Perl has tons of this stuff too, all aimed at making the language quicker and more fun to write, but less readable for beginners.
