To get involved in the Raku community in general, see the main Community page at https://raku.org/community/. If you're keen to be involved and help, then your best bet is to look over the Troupes page, and find the troupes that best suit your skills.

There are also some general community resources which were not significant enough to put on https://raku.org/community/ but can still be handy/helpful.

Mailing Lists§

For the folks who can't use #raku or discord, there are several (low traffic) mailing lists (which use the legacy name of Perl 6).

Raku® is optimised for fun!§

Audrey Tang coined the phrase that Raku is optimized for fun, abbreviated -Ofun.

Raku has a fun-driven community: writing a Raku compiler is fun, developing applications too, and most of all dealing with friendly, intelligent people.
