Scintilla 4.30 onward ships with a Raku lexer: https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/1328/
Would it be possible to add Raku support in Geany?
Geany currently uses Scintilla 3 so as to not require C++17, so until it is decided that C++17 is widely enough available and somebody provides a PR that upgrades to Scintilla 4 its unlikley unless the Raku support is backported to Scintilla 3.

Hi @elextr, As pointed out by @codebrainz the Raku lexer was backported and is available on the LongTerm3 branch of Scintilla
Ok, so somebody just needs to provide PR making the filetype that provides all the coding into Geany, see `HACKING` file.
Closed #2456 as completed via #3169.
