Surprisingly Unsurprising
summary
Raku's core design and module ecosystem (examples: Cro, Red, DateTime::Timezones) are examined to show how language features enable simple, intuitive solutions that feel surprising to programmers from other languages. The talk demonstrates how module authors can deeply integrate with Raku by re-creating language idioms (specifically gather/take) and by building a practical module that temporarily replaces .say with localized variants inside a special block, concluding with recommendations for module authors.
