“Perl 6” hasn’t been a thing for more than a year.
As for Ruby 3, the concurrency improvements are here today. The Actor-model parallelism of Ractors is here, if experimental, today. JIT improvements are here today.
Yes, there's also more stuff on the horizon building on that, but it is simply not the case that efficiencies from Ruby 3 are so e kind of continuously receding mirage.

To be clear: "Perl 6" has been renamed to the Raku Programming Language (https://raku.org using the #rakulang tag on social media) and is very much a thing :-)
