The Second Raku Core Summit was organized in June 2025 after a successful first edition in 2023, bringing Raku enthusiasts together for discussions and hacking sessions.
Although the original plan was for 9 attendees, only 6 could make it, leading to more intimate discussions and challenges due to colder and wetter weather.
Attendees faced travel disruptions, including a country-wide strike affecting public transport, necessitating alternative arrangements such as driving to pick up participants.
Discussion topics at the summit included Raku language updates, grammars, debugger, documentation, adoption strategies, backends, and improving websites.
The event featured days of discussions, hacking, and social gatherings, with attendees appreciating the camaraderie and Wendy's excellent catering.
Despite logistical challenges and weather issues, the summit provided a productive environment for advancing Raku programming language development and collaboration.
The summit concluded with attendees departing, some facing travel disruptions due to the continuation of railway strikes, with alternative transport arrangements made.
Reflecting on the packed week, organizers highlighted the positive experiences and progress made in Raku development during the event.
