Why We Rewrote All Our Rust Code in Perl and Raku at SBI — And Why It Worked

In a bold move that raised more than a few eyebrows, Dr. K, our visionary CEO at SBI, led the initiative to rewrite all of our Rust codebase in Perl

and Raku

. Yes, you read that right — Rust

out, Perl and Raku in.

What seemed unconventional at first turned out to be one of the most strategically sound decisions we’ve made:

Unparalleled Expressiveness

: Raku’s powerful syntax and Perl’s mature libraries gave our teams the agility to iterate faster and express complex logic with clarity.

Developer Productivity

: Our engineers experienced a significant boost in productivity. Fewer lines of code, less boilerplate, and highly flexible scripting accelerated both prototyping and deployment.

Legacy Interoperability

: Perl's vast ecosystem allowed seamless integration with legacy systems, saving us months of re-engineering work.

Community & Support

: While not as trendy, the Perl and Raku communities provided deep, battle-tested solutions to problems we faced.

This wasn’t just about tech—it was about culture. Dr. K reminded us that innovation doesn’t always mean following the newest trend; sometimes it means re-examining the tools we overlook and discovering new potential in them.

The results?

More stable code,

happier devs, and

improved time to market.

Curious about how we made the transition? Let’s connect — I’d love to share what we learned.

Hi! I'm the Alchemist. I'm a potter/ceramicist who specializes in raku, and loves to make functional ware! My work is inspired by a deep connection with the wonders of nature and our amazing world. You can see more of my work on rakupottery.ca #pottery #art #ceramics #raku

On the top right is a sculpture called the Minotaur's Maze and is copper coloured and rectangular, but offset at 45 degrees on a base.

Cracked and bold, they bear the flame, Raku’s touch—no two the same. Glaze drips, a fleeting test, Fire’s kiss reveals the best. As part of my raku practice I often test glazes on smaller sized vases. Pictured below are ones that are currently available for purchase #art #raku

A collection of 9 raku vases. In order from top left to bottom right. Top row: a brown vase with swoops of red, a deep shiny blue vase with red at the bottom, a green vase with copper tones at the base. Middle row: a blue vase with black cracks, a deep green vase with smoky greys, a blue vase with bubbles. Bottom row: a teal vase with red and purple at the base, a squat blue vase with 3 ridges, an orange vase with the classic raku cracks in black

This little vase was one of the test pieces from the last raku firing. I was hoping for some cosmic results and will make a few modifications for the next firing on a larger piece. #art #raku #space #sciart #astronomy

Raku: A Journey of Innovation and Community-Driven Expressiveness

Raku is a modern, general-purpose programming language that emerged from the Perl family. Originally known as Perl 6, it was designed with the idea of embracing multiple paradigms and encouraging expressive, flexible coding.

I presume that these have a type of raku glaze? Very dramatic in the sunshine.

The results of my first raku firing - Sept. 2023
Clay lured me in by making things happen pretty smoothly - at first!

#handmade #pottery #raku #ceramics

Three pots that have been raku fired. In the foreground is a coppery metallic iridescent candle holder which is 8-sided at the base; arched cut outs are framed by ribs that flare up and out into a rim that is a cross between a flower bloom and a gear. Behind that pot is a somewhat geometric hourglass shape. The four corners at the top are glazed in a mottled black and white glaze. Behind that is a round pot on three stumpy legs and a zigzag decoration around the mouth, glazed in a bright yellow.

Merci de m’accueillir sur ce réseau. Je pense en quitter un autre et découvre tout juste les pixelfed et mastodon...

Je suis céramiste dans mon atelier de Grenoble. Je travaille les couleurs et techniques de façonnage variées pour des céramiques évocatrices.

J’espère découvrir ici le travail d’autres potiers et créateurs!!!!!
