Raku Foundation

TL;DR

A non-profit entity created to manage the ecosystem and funding for the Raku programming language so it doesn't just wither away.

Who is this actually for?

Perl 6 veterans and niche language enthusiasts who want to ensure their favorite obscure syntax remains maintained.

The Good

• Creates a formal legal structure for taking donations and corporate sponsorships.
• Provides a centralized point for community governance and long-term project stability.

The Catch (Potential Downsides)

The Raku community is tiny compared to the giants like Rust or Go, making it hard to attract significant funding. Foundations often get bogged down in bureaucracy rather than shipping actual code improvements.
