Except that it hasn't. What other language does everything P6 does? (Or even tries, let alone does it as well or better.) What language does "most" or "a lot" of it? To be honest, I would have expected that after a couple of decades, there would be other languages that stole a lot of P6's thunder, but if there is anything remotely comparable, I haven't heard of it.
P6 is an surprisingly ambitious project. (I think even surprisingly so to its creators.) Apparently it just takes this long to do something that big and powerful.
Why would any language do what Perl 6 does? Languages do what they need and typically do at least some things Perl 6 doesn't do and at least some things do better than Perl 6 does them. Sometimes such things are much more important to people than everything Perl 6 does.
You’re ignoring the comment two above you. The suggestion was that there are no uses for Perl 6. That implies there’s at least one language that does what it does. There is not.
If you need real rational number math and are doing a lot of text processing for example, there might not be a better alternative.
