You can't always interpret a lack of buzzing around as stagnation. The Template Toolkit hasn't had much new core development for years: that's because it's complete. Dancer2 core is not as complete as TT, but it's very full-featured and stable, and the plugin architecture means you can easily build your own if something's missing. Most of the things introduced to core started as plugins anyway.

As far as what I use Dancer and Dancer2 for : all the new webapps and APIs I build, which is most of my work: "microservices" where the bulk of the requests are for REST endpoints rather than traditional HTML page content. I also have plenty of more human-oriented websites on Dancer/2. (I just started a $job where the app framework is Mojolicious, though.)


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
