Hey team, I want to upgrade my production support triage skills. I had used for the purpose before, but it's been a few years and I had totally forgotten it. What do folks think: should I relearn Perl 5 or pick up Clearly Raku is very cool, but I'm worried that its small ecosystem size and it being less common will limit its usefulness in practical applications, that it might have production readiness issues, etc.

I'm going to be using it for things like parsing and analyzing logs more than anything, maybe also some light scripting to maintain my workstation, things like that. Call aws cli, get logs and parse them in a script, things like that. Not planning to use it to build apps or anything.
