There is nothing Dancer does that Mojolicious can't do better, and then some.
- thomas11 16y agoI didn't mean to attack Mojolicious at all. I've never played with it, but it seems very cool. I have used Dancer, and liked it very much, that's all I wanted to say. It's great that you promote your framework, but it doesn't mean that similar frameworks can't be good.
- kraih 16y agoThey are not even playing in the same league.
- thomas11 16y agoYou keep hinting at Dancer's inferiority without giving any examples. When I said Dancer is "similar" I was only thinking of Mojolicious::Lite. Feature-wise Dancer and Mojolicious are obviously not in the same league, and are not meant to be. People who just needed a small and easy solution were happy enough with Dancer. Maybe nowadays Mojolicious::Lite should be their go-to solution - but you're not gonna convince anyone that way. Also, completely replacing your comment without indicating it with an [edit] or similar isn't very nice. I admire your work in the Perl web space, and have been following it via Planet Perl. There's no need to defend it with snarky one-liners.
- kraih 16y agoI've given very specific examples before, the result was a flame war, i have no interest in that. Now i would rather stay on topic and talk about more exciting things like Mojolicious.
- asukrieh 16y agoMay I underline that the flamewar you're referring to was totally intended by yourself? Your (public) IRC logs prove it by themselves (you even called that a "marketing" campaign). So it's a bit funny when you say afterwards "i have no interest in that". For the "design issues" in Dancer, you may not know, but the code base has hugely been rewritten since your last epic marketing actions. So what you're saying here might be very well obsolete, just for the record. Oh and one last word, as I said before, I don't understand why you put so much hate and energy when Dancer is mentioned. What's the problem? Do you want to rule the world or what? If Mojolicious is so good, why do you need to make so much noise?
- LoonyPandora 16y agoTIMTOWTDI (for the non perl guys, there is more than one way to do it - the motto of Perl) Mojolicious is very cool, has strong leadership, direction, and is very opinionated. I prefer Dancer, and believe it fills a slightly different niche - but the competition between both can only be a good thing.
- olaf 16y agoWhat about documentation? A few months ago, I was interested in Mojolicious, but it seemed to me, that the docs were hidden and incomplete, I completely lost my interest for that reason alone.
- kraih 16y agoThey have improved significantly and are still improving, just take a look at the included Mojolicious::Lite tutorial and the Mojolicious::Guides.
