Move along. If you claim there's stealing of code, prove it and show it. Otherwise, save this crap. You like Mojolicious. Fine. Go do that. The Dancer crew will continue on it's way. It affects you not at all.

I had investigated Mojolicious but this kind of attitude from you and from it's creator have long kept me out of that community. Yes, the channel can have people who are helpful, but bile begets bile and if you're an example of the Mojolicious community, I want no part of it.

A fellow Perl hacker would recall that there's more than one way to do it. And the Mojolicious internals don't look like the Dancer internals.

Seriously guy? This hostility towards Dancer is silly.

The thing is, savvy folk know it's Perl and not PERL and regardless of your work, it indicates a lack of knowledge of the community.

Slight misunderstanding. It's a PHP webapp that is an ad server. Not a web server. Having seen the codebase... it's evil.

Lots of portuguese as well as many many other nationalities here. We even have a little portugal. You'd be fine here.

Aren't things like this getting just a little tired and old?

You want readable Perl?

1) Go look at some better known modules on CPAN

2) Look at answers to questions on http://perlmonks.org

3) Read Effective Perl, 2ed

4) Check out chromatic's Modern Perl book ( free online in draft form at http://www.modernperlbooks.com/mt/2010/06/modern-perl-the-bo... )

Nifty. Always glad to see cross-pollination in the Ruby/Python/Perl world.

I'll start this with "I'm a Perl programmer" but I'm not looking for a flame war. I am interested in hearing an expansion of your statements. I am going to admit I don't understand this one.

What do you mean by "Big Bang"? That Perl 6 is being developed on top of Parrot? That Perl 6 is a reinvention instead of re-iteration?

What "enormous resources" are you referring to? The Perl 6 team isn't huge and it's all volunteer with very little financial backing (only some relatively small grants from the Perl Foundation).

Which components are you referring to? Where are the "limited ability to test the compatibility of the components"? Which components? There are a lot of tests though... a truly massive test set. I'm assuming you're not referring to these.

From my understanding the "utility" is a pretty big part of what they're testing. There are folk writing Perl 6 (November wiki http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/index.cgi?november). The implementors are going back and forth with Larry about things. A lot of the ideas aren't new, just new in Perl.

I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from. :)

I would have liked to have seen "a lot less bad that it looks" replaces with "one would have been too many" and "we will work very hard to regain your trust". It's okay... but the public is their target audience! Simple phrases, big impact.
