Oh, I've got no complaints about the article or even its title. Few people learn Perl or Raku these days so it would be surprising for most people.
I thought it was interesting myself - Perl's my go-to scripting language but I never used Raku. I might consider it next time I have a non-trivial scripting project.
As someone who picked up Raku without knowing anything about Perl (besides the fact that it had something to do with regex), it was a little surprising :)
What makes Perl or Raku interesting? What are some applications where they are the ideal languages?
