Some of my configuration files are online aren't they?
[Raku](https://raku.org/) is one of the most interesting, if not the most. I'm
not an expert but it pretty much has every language construct ({{< abbr e.g "for example" >}}
[promises](https://docs.raku.org/type/Promise#method_allof)) plus exotic
stuff. The exotic operators are strangely intuitive (and "hyped").

```raku {caption="My [array (@)](https://docs.raku.org/language/variables) named bin has numbers 1 to 3 (1..3) like this [ 1 2 3 ]. The [hyper](https://docs.raku.org/language/operators#Hyper_operators) operator >>++ increments (++) its items by 1. Say prints [ 2 3 4 ]."}
my @bin = 1..3;
@bin>>++;
say @bin;
```
I use it for quick {{< abbr CLIs "command line interfaces" >}} with the
[multi](https://docs.raku.org/syntax/multi) dispatch [CLI feature](https://docs.raku.org/language/create-cli).
