I first came across something like this in janet, which includes a PEG system in the standard library. It definitely changed how I think about text processing.

The community is tiny. The fact that it was called "Perl6" for 20 years (Raku is from after 2019 I think) absolutely doesn't help in anything, the least in adoption. The historical churn in terms of VM (experimental in Haskell, dead Parrot, JVM, current MoarVM), the lack of planned features (macros!) for long years, and the slow death of Perl over a similar time frame - all that (and more) means not many people use it, even if they happen to know about it.
On the other hand, there's a similarly tiny - or smaller - community around Glamorous Toolkit (a Smalltalk distribution) that managed to produce one of the most hackable and rich LLM clients out there: https://github.com/feenkcom/gt4llm https://gtoolkit.com/ Here, though, LLMs are so close a match for the community interests that it just had to happen...
