Re^4: UP-TO-DATE Comparison of CGI Alternatives

wasn't trolling at all. on the contrary---I need to figure out what I want to do myself.

yes, you may be quite right that there are too few users of both frameworks to give good comparisons.

basically, you are suggesting that novices flip a coin. it does not seem like a very efficient way to choose between D2 and M, but it is then unavoidable. I am not blaming you (or anyone). on the contrary. (thanks for the advice.) I am just stating what the choice background information is.

PS: in learning one or the other framework, it would be useful to know whether there is a perl6 plan for the long-distant (10-year) future. there is a reason why it is still called perl. a plan here would have been a plus biasing the coin for one or the other framework in my mind. after all, I am starting a new project, so I may as well consider not just stability but future paths, too.

PS Update: http://perl6maven.com/bailador seems to be trying to mimick Dancer.

They all do the same thing, but I don't think that captures the truth. Here are some interviews with the developers themselves. They all seem excited for and happy about perl6. And I also want to say for the record that I think all the frameworks are great, just that Mojo is greater. The way it starts out with a one page app and then grows, support for testing, model agnostic, javascript agnostic, template helpers, asset packs that support things like JS combining and minification, it feels like SRI knew your pains and went out of his way to make your life better. Catalyst I felt like starts out huge and forces a great, hard learned, best practicey and mature SW Engineering Philosophy on you. Who wants that baggage? Not me. I did use Dancer, and I even found my old node where that was my opinion: Re: Pro/Cons Catalyst/Mojolicous/Dancer. But, my opinion changed, mostly because when your apps get larger, in Dancer they have nowhere to go. Plus Dancer2 came out and it is like.. what is going on here. Without Catalyst there would be no Mojolicious and they all are better than what came before.	[reply]

"The way it starts out with a one page app and then grows" I agree with this, the examples, tools and documentation for taking a Mojolicoius::Lite app to a full Mojolicious app are very good. Also, I believe that the learning curve isn't significantly different from learning to develop in CGI (or associated framework), while offering much more potential.	[reply]
