Hmm... I will have to be frank here: I am biased.

There might be a little truth to the fact that Dancer is marked Beginner and five star documentation, while Mojolicious is marked as Intermediate and has four stars of documentation. Dancer v/s Mojolicious

At this point, there are enough docs and plugins for all that you would want and you just bring them together like ingredients for a cake... urr... starting to talk like a Mojolician...

Maybe I was put off by exactly that video that is still around: https://vimeo.com/40579180 While frameworks like Starman is much more serious, and once hearing their strong points... appealed more to me.

But it is more the fact that I got it immediately with node.js and Dancer, vs having to really trial-and-error my way around mojolicious. (but like I said, the point is moot now, as the docs of all webplatforms I talked about are topnotch)

And maybe... a preference for the . instead of the fat comma:

# extract title from template (in a beginner's tutorial!)
my $title = $c->ua->get($msg)->res->dom->at('title')->text;

Finally, there was some PM talk about the same here:

Mojolicious vs Dancer (security-wise)?

I hope to find some time to jump into Dancer2... maybe the summervacation...
