Highly intriguing. Perl is a solid language that has really held firm ground for scripting but has been over taken by the likes of ruby in the web. Its nice to see the emergence of an mvc framework to help in its popularity and further growth. I for one will definitely be trying this and comparing with my current implementations in ruby.
- spooneybarger 16y agoyou know there are several mature mvc frameworks already right? catalyst for example..
- chuhnk 16y agoYea I'm aware of catalyst but havent really spent any time with perl as of late. A lot of web development that I do is with ruby/sinatra which is the kind of framework I enjoy working with. Its just nice to see new development still going on for perl in this fashion.
- rjbond3rd 16y agoyou know there's lots of new development going on for perl aside from Mojolicious, right? :)
- chuhnk 16y agoI know of the perl 6 development. I've not really seen anything else get noticed. Anything noteworthy to mention here?
- berntb 16y agoYou mentioned Sinatra? On my todo list is to look at Dancer, which seems to have started as a clone of Sinatra. Edit: I might add that you could describe the situation as that parts of Perl 6 has been "backported" to Perl 5. Moose seems to take over the Perl world, like testing did a decade ago. The fun part is the extensibility of the language.
- mike-cardwell 16y agoI don't know about Perls core, but CPAN is a hotbed of new development and has been for years. Just look at the new module stream on twitter: https://twitter.com/cpan_new https://twitter.com/cpan_new I bet there's a tonne more work going into Perl modules than Ruby gems...
- rjbond3rd 16y agoOh man, far too much to list in a post. Just for starters though: perl 5.12 language features, Moose, Plack, perlbrew, Task::Kensho, the Modern Perl and Enlightened Perl movements, the Padre IDE, Strawberry Perl. That's maybe 0.0001% of what's going on.
- datapimp 16y agoI believe Mojolicious is by the same author as Catalyst.
- dstorrs 16y agosri was the founder of the Catalyst project, but was later asked to step down from that role by the other Catalyst core developers based on non-resolvable differences of opinion on how the project should develop.
- perlgeek 16y agoSo you could call it a "second system done right" :-) (Update: I should note that I've been toying with Mojolicious for a private project in the last few weeks, and quite enjoyed the experience. Hence "done right").
