Re^2: UP-TO-DATE Comparison of CGI Alternatives

Agree 100%++. I would love to see Mojolicious become the universally and dogmatically recommended Perl web framework. I think it is the best competitor to php that Perl has to offer, much easier to use, learn, start, grow.

Why ?

Seems like some kind of misunderstanding

php is a language, like perl

and Mojolicious is a framework , written in perl

The two things aren't competitive with each other

The whole of why php gained an edge over perl is because of big web hosts, mod_php under apache... , for faster than cgi, lighter than mod_perl...

With passage of time and the rise of virtualization and things like nginx/fcgi/uwsgi.... the hosts have caught up and what they're selling these days is choice, anything the developer wants he can install

I would say Mojolicious does compete with php in that they both perform the same function and using one mostly precludes using the other. Just like using Mojolicious precludes using the other frameworks. So choices have to be made. I'm just unequivocally saying that Mojolicious is the best. Other opinions are like, well "they all do the same thing" or "well you might try this if situation x". Or, "I was telnetted to a dancer server one time". Yeah, no. I'm saying one is far better than the others.	[reply]

Not really. Mason or Embperl are much closer matches to PHP.	[reply]

Really. So are you making a recommendation or just throwing out links? Last time I used PHP we used it as a routing controller and for templating, same as mojo except suckier. Makes me feel like I'm <?php echo "writing html still" ?>	[reply]
