I think this is what I admire about Perl 6, though also it is why it wasn't released as the successor to Perl 5 10 years ago.
It has some genuinely ambitious features, some things that (as someone who barely dabbles in new languages) that I haven't seen before, or combinations I hadn't seen.
Something novel instead of the umpteenth iteration of "x with a better type system" or "x without that pesky type system".
