Whatever stack you know the best. The technology really doesn't matter a lot, compared to a lot of other success criteria. Unless the objective is to learn - then picking the one that you know best is not a good strategy :)

  Mine too :) Most of my applications are built using Perl and the excellent CGI::Application module/framework. I've used Dancer a couple of times, but that tends to be for smaller applications, and it has to be said that the last remaining dancer application I used in production was replaced by a port to golang this morning. Partly for a fun learning experience, and partly to simplify deployment. For new projects, if they were small and self-contained, I'd probably gamble on golang. If they were more complex, or I was in a rush, I'd use Perl.

    Golang for components that need the speed, Perl for the rest. Mojolicious is my preferred Perl framework.

    What happened to Slaughter? Except for perhaps an unfortunate name it was an interesting project. I can see that all links to it doesn't work anymore..

      It didn't seem to get much traction, so I stopped work on it. A few years later I removed references to it, but I still have the repositories if users do query me. My recollection is that modules that are removed from CPAN are still mirrored, so they should still be available, but I admit I've not checked recently.

        For reference the latest App::Slaughter can be found here: http://backpan.perl.org/authors/id/S/SK/SKX/ http://backpan.perl.org/authors/id/S/SK/SKX/ Why not put it back on Github? I always find it interesting to look on other projects when I have an idea etc. Deprecated or not. I am getting tired of puppet/ansible and dream of the pure Perl + Shell world I used to live in. :)
