5.6? 23 years ago!

Yes, quite true!

...and I've been waiting for the Perl 6 promise of full unicode compatibility most of this time. I'm not sure why, exactly, I didn't notice Raku sooner. Maybe it was that renaming which tricked me into thinking it was a totally new programming language (I'm not sufficiently into the Perl development scene to be following its conferences, etc., and I remain unaware of many of the details of Raku's release). It might also have had something to do with the global pandemic of fear that refocused my attentions in other areas, beginning near the time the name "Raku" came to be.
