Raku is basically perl 6 and has some features that blew my mind when I tried it a few years back.

Never really did much with it, but it was enjoyable to learn.

This encapsulates every conversation I have ever had with someone who tried Perl 6: Tried it, was blown away with [some aspect of it], never found anything practical to do with it, never used it again.

I think I even reference that in the talk... Dart is everything I wanted from Perl 6, which is why I'm happy to be coding in Dart now.
