Raku is going BASIC
Macros, not sure, I haven't used them, but they were the main impetus behind RAST so... probably moving along rather nicely. A lot of work was put into figuring out how they should be implemented over the past nearly decade (see Alma, née 007).

Show HN: Bel in Clojure
(C) Kernel's operatives do a syntax->"side effect" transformation, at that same late stage as Bel's macros. Kernel operatives are essentially functions, except that the evaluation of the operands (syntax) into arguments (values) has been suppressed. In this sense, operatives are small interpreters.
If an (A) macro is well-behaved, you can often "optimize" it either to a (B) form or a (C) form. In my Bel implementation, it took me ages to notice that I could do the latter. I documented it here: https://github.com/masak/alma/issues/302#issuecomment-992556...

Looking for Tk in raku
If you are only looking for canvases, you can use [Cairo](https://github.com/timo/cairo-p6) and [something](https://github.com/finanalyst/GTK-Simple) [GTKish](https://github.com/Xliff/p6-GtkPlus). The latter is mine and a slog to install, but offers better signals support than the former.

How do you create all the libraries needed for your new programming languages to be useful?
I'll throw my name in the list, as I have been working on an as-far-as-I-can-get approach to bringing GTK3 to Raku. See https://github.com/Xliff/p6-GtkPlus
