Re: Ignoring directories in Catalyst

Catalyst is an abysmal mess and its API is even worse. While it is an extremely lightweight solution, I have had nothing but joy and pleasure in using Dancer.

Now if only someone would create an enterprise level alternative to Catalyst this is ... actually usable if you aren't the author. :/

Most projects I work on straddle the line between being too big for Dancer and too small for Catalyst. I like using Catalyst though. It's certainly not easy to learn, but once you finally figure it out, you can use it quite effectively.	[reply]

I've seen Dancer used in production code. It is horrendous and disgusting. Now apparently Dancer2 is so much better etc. pp. But the Catalyst apps I've seen have always been quite a lot easier to maintain, and Catalyst has been more extensible in my experience. I'd recommend it at any time, though it does tend to be slower	[reply]
