Re: UP-TO-DATE Comparison of CGI Alternatives

Did anyone go ahead and start such a FAQ?

I just discovered this conversation thread via google, and it seemed a great idea!

Did anyone make a start on collecting opinions, or people's likes and dislikes of each, as suggested in this thread?

I learnt Mojolicious in 2015, and Catalyst in 2016. Most of the sites I work on, were started in 2016 on Catalyst, only I'm contemplating whether I should do a few projects in Mojolicious again too, so I can keep up my familiarity with both frameworks, or whether it really is easiest to just stick to using one, ^_^. This led to me googling Catalyst or Mojolicious for which this thread (once limiting search results to the past year) was the top result.

See this node in the thread. The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply]

Thanks! =D That post points out a minimal and simplistic guide would be easiest to maintain. Do we know though, if anyone who expressed interest in this idea on this thread, has begun such a guide yet or not?	[reply]

The point on the usefulness of a deployment guide in that linked to node, is also heard.	[reply]

I found this node the same way and am thankful that this question was asked and discussed. I have not tried any framework yet and was trying to find which would be the easiest to learn and I think I got my answer. It's Mojolicious!	[reply]

You might be right that it's the easiest but it does have a bit more off-center DWIW magic than the others. What I think it does do best is its helper (like Mojo::DOM) and testing utilities. Please avail yourself of the testing especially. I don't think anything else makes it easier to write tests against web applications; Selenium being an exception perhaps because you can record tests and they respect JavaScript too. Update: added `<abbr/>`.	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you Your Mother for the additional inputs. I had to google for DWIW but know what it means now :-)	[reply]
