I don't remember anyone paying much attention to perl6 before long after perl had peaked. It was for a while seen as an potential savior for perl but that faded too. It was more about PHP, Ruby and Python entering the stage and diluting the market for scripting languages by each offering something special that one set of users really wanted weather it be an easier deployment path better standard libraries or a more beginner friendly community.
