What exactly do you think are Perl 6's failings? In a big way it's Haskell-but-really-Lisp with a more convenient syntax.

If people decide they've done that wrong, then it will be a small amount of time before someone gives it a new Setting, and/or grammar. At the very least the Perl 6 grammar system (or something very much like it) is a real need that nothing else is filling. (On a few PL-development mailing lists I'm on, they still talk of keeping the grammar simple so it can be parsed with prehistoric tools.)
