Just getting into Mojolicious... thanks for a Perlish alternative to RoR, Django and something WAY easier than Catalyst!

Congrats on the release. Need to do some cool real time project soon.

  For sure; especially with web sockets. The built-in test support for the latest websocket spec (in code and on the command line) makes things really easy.
  - marcusramberg 15y ago
    Jupp. Seems even MSIE10 is adopting web sockets now. Will be interesting to see what people make with it.

Supper Awesome! Mojolicous is my favourite web framework for building apps. Glad to see 2.0 and all the goodies it has.

Catalyst is easy too. But Mojolicious and Dancer bring us a new breath. Great news.

and i thought perl is dead :O

  If you thought that, Mojolicious will blow you away. The hot reloading production server and libev event subscription is about as hip as you can get these days.

I've been using Mojolicious even before it hit 1.0 and it has been an excellent experience. If there is one area I must applaud sri (and the community) for, is dropping Perl 5.8; Moving forward means moving forward (even though I understand the motivation behind not wanting to make 5.8 obsolete).
- kraih 15y ago
  It took almost a year and multiple attempts to finally get rid of Perl 5.8, so glad it's done. :) But thanks to Jesse and his ambitious plans for Perl, i think there is now a mentality change happening in the community that will make similar changes easier in the future.

I cannot find a web framework in any other language that is as clean as this or has as many bells and whistles.

Morbo never stops amazing when I build apps with other developers.
- tempire 15y ago
  It's true; and I love that the production server, hypnotoad, is a managed set of morbos. Code re-use done right.
  - sciurus 15y ago
    Rather, Morbo and Hypnotoad both manage Mojo::Server::Daemon workers.

In the last year, since I started using Mojolicious, rolling out web apps has been just amazingly nice. Good work people!

For anyone else who's curious, the actual site is http://mojolicio.us/ http://mojolicio.us/. If you're trying to get new blood linking to a site without docs, or any apparent links to get more info is maybe not the best way of doing so.
- tempire 15y ago
  The link is right up there at the top of the page. Thanks for reposting the link, though.
  - TylerE 15y ago
    Ok, so it is. Problem is it just looks like a tag or something.

That is not what real-time means.
- marcusramberg 15y ago
  async, non-blocking, event driven. This is exactly what real-time web frameworks are about.

The chief design goal is not high throughput, but rather a guarantee of a soft or hard performance category. A RTOS that can usually or generally meet a deadline is a soft real-time OS, but if it can meet a deadline deterministically it is a hard real-time OS. Async, non-blocking, and event-driven have nothing to do with real-time. This web framework has nothing to do with real-time. Stop using terminology you don't understand.

      I think you're munging terms. As posted in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_web http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_web "The real-time web is a set of technologies and practices that enable users to receive information as soon as it is published by its authors, rather than requiring that they or their software check a source periodically for updates." Mojolicious fits that description.

I build a special-purpose frontend to libvirt using Mojolicious 1.33 back in May. It was already a very easy to use and capable framework. There have been 62 releases in the five months since then! https://github.com/kraih/mojo/blob/7321e4c7b83a19286b3309df53fc6d4d2e7460f0/Changes https://github.com/kraih/mojo/blob/7321e4c7b83a19286b3309df5...
