on CGI.pm deprecated: I just followed what the maintainer himself wrote: all_software_is_legacy.

on other languages, I am not an expert, either. however, I *do* know that when someone starts webprogramming in ruby, there is one framework everyone learns first: rails. when someone starts in python, everyone seems to start with django. and php is sort of its own (braindamaged language and) web system. it's only advantage is that the web is built in. In a sense. CGI.pm was the web-built-in in perl. all of the above languages offer alternative (quasi-)frameworks, too, but this is what almost everyone starts with.

I think it was a good idea that perl would switch to a better standard web system than CGI.pm, but I don't think it is helpful that there is not one standard that starters should first goto. I think it hampers us. yes, there are many way to do things in perl, but some basic methods (design patterns ;-) ) are useful. for example, I believe Moo* is now a standard for object layers. Perl6::Slurp is now quasi standard. chomp(). etc.

HELP: in the absence of complete comparisons, why should anyone start with Mojolicious over Dancer2, or vice-versa? who should start with one or the other? /iaw
