Re^2: Object oriented Perl: What's popular?

While Java (et al.)'s "Everything's an object (usually called Object)" state of mind isn't the only option out there, it seems that most people prefer their OO this way, making Moose a good choice, with its "Everything's a Moose::Object" style.

Moose is more than just "Everything's a Moose::Object". We can also do prototype style OO, and if you are so inclined inside-out objects with MooseX::InsideOut. And honestly plain Moose is not nearly as "everything is an object" as when you use Moose::Autobox.

Moose is more than just "Everything's a Moose::Object". I was over-symplifying, of course, in the process of trying to cater for the OP's Java-based background. We can also do prototype style OO Now that would be interesting, although the URL you link to seems to be broken. Software speaks in tongues of man; I debug, therefore I code. Stop saying 'script'. Stop saying 'line-noise'.	[reply]

I had been talking to merlyn (who is apparently a big fan of prototype based OO) and he was asking of Moose could be made to do it. Of course, its not really a pure prototype based OO, but a thin prototype-ish layer over the class based system Moose uses, and implemented using metaclasses. It's fairly complete, so it probably could be made for real-world use, but I don't have the need or desire to do so, it was just fun to write :) -stvn	[reply]
