Ask HN: Why hasn't Perl 6 taken off yet?

I am new ish to perl, coming from Python, and absolutely love the language and the community! I've been poking around perl 6 and it seems even cooler! It has everything I want: gradual typing, multiple paradigms, an up and coming package manager, and a nifty logo.

So, why isn't it the poster child of the scripting languages yet?
