Perl 6 had its first release in December 2015. Since then, it has been renamed to Raku (https://raku.org using the #rakulang tag on social media). It has monthly releases and a weekly blog: https://rakudoweekly.blog

It supports an improved regex syntax, grammars, Unicode NFG (Normalization Form Grapheme, think "\r\n" as a single codepoint), a gradual type system, async execution of code, junctions, event driven execution, set operations...

Hope this was short enough.
