I wrote up a tutorial on Perl 6 and tried to get it more widely known there are a lot of neat features in it and it looks far better designed than most languages:

However, most people have dismissed it because they think Perl 5 is dead and anything using Perl should be replaced with Python or Ruby or Go or Rust or some other language.

The hacker flavour of the language has been preserved and that's the niche it would fill for me...if I didn't have to basically do frontend web all day.
