The whole "Perl 6 won't be backwards compatible" effectively took the wind out of the sails. If you force people to have to redo what they already have, that will give them an incentive to investigate other alternatives. Couple this with the 15 years of "Perl 6" going nowhere just opened the door for everything else to grow in it's place.
