Same. And it's a bit funny because I'm usually against unnecessary complexity, and here's a language that seems to have embraced it and become a giant castle of language features that I could spend weeks studying.

Maybe it's because Raku's features were actually well thought-out, unlike the incidental "doesn't actually buy me anything, just makes the code hard to deal with" complexity I have to deal at work day in and day out.

Maybe if Java had a few of these features back in the day people wouldn't've felt the need to construct these monstrous annotation soup frameworks in it.
