Why are you using past tense? When you skim the last year here you cannot say that Perl 6 is dead: https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/docs/ChangeLog

(Instead there are some exciting things to read there, at least exciting for me :o)

Language features rank, for me, below language as community stability. That's why perl5 is a viable option: it's super stable and cpan is great.
