I was similarly wondering what the killer application, platform, or tool will be.

This review calls out the ease of FFI and a reasonable set of concurrency primitives so, in conjunction with the grammars and the data-mangling heritage, I conjecture that Perl6 might be good for IoT programming or SCADA. Of course it's a long trek from "might be good for" to "look at this compelling thing we built with it".
