In Classes and objects§

See primary documentation in context for Class

Raku, like many other languages, uses the class keyword to define a class. The block that follows may contain arbitrary code, just as with any other block, but classes commonly contain state and behavior declarations. The example code includes attributes (state), introduced through the has keyword, and behaviors, introduced through the method keyword.

In Object orientation§

See primary documentation in context for Classes

Classes are declared using the class keyword, typically followed by a name.

class Journey { }

This declaration results in a type object being created and installed in the current package and current lexical scope under the name Journey. You can also declare classes lexically:

my class Journey { }

This restricts their visibility to the current lexical scope, which can be useful if the class is an implementation detail nested inside a module or another class.
