While watching that video I translated it directly to Raku https://gist.github.com/b2gills/9d3a79b2589b88a7c083ccd58f2402d0

I even started to do the work of adding it to the list. https://github.com/b2gills/Primes The problem is that I have no experience with Docker. And also a lack of round tuits.
