I could give a list of features as to how Perl 6 will make my life as a developer better, but a list of features is not enough to justify adopting a whole new language with a small ecosystem. To adopt a language, it really has to improve your productivity. For instance, I think we've seen this with Go's adoption by people from dynamic languages, as it offered type safety, speed, and concurrency in a package that was generally more readily acceptable to them than Java/C#/Scala/etc. jnthn has a great series of blog posts illustrating how many of Perl 6's features come together to make developing a library very easy. To me, this is a great example of "how does Perl 6 help a business": by allowing rapid development of a complex asynchronous application, which is a use case many of us face. He illustrates this by writing a STOMP client for RabbitMQ, going from toy to a serious library: https://6guts.wordpress.com/2016/01/04/not-guts-but-6-part-1/ https://6guts.wordpress.com/2016/01/04/not-guts-but-6-part-1... I look at this workflow and think, "Wow, I wish I could do things that easily." But now I can, because Perl 6 is out. :)
