While it appears that Perl 6 has many impressive features, I'm much more interested in practical matters such as: module versioning, installation, & removal; the state of MoarVM; and the state of the tutorial book.
After years of the spec being nice but the implementations being very basic, the module versioning and installation implementation in Rakudo is finally shaping up. I anticipate it getting pretty robust over the next 6 months. Imo FROGGS' day 11 advent article is poorly written but might be useful:

Rakudo/MoarVM began running this month. As Larry Wall said a few days ago "failed 179 test files ... which ain't too shabby at this point" http://irclog.perlgeek.de/moarvm/2013-12-21#i_8029074
Afaik the Perl 6 book is not really being updated. Maybe this info is of interest to you: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1033899
