Github offers a wiki as part of a project. Why not use that? I imagine their spam detection is much better than anything we ever could've done on our own with Mason HQ. > I'm interested in creating the most powerful Perl templating framework that I > can, even if > that means having dependencies like Moose and requiring a little extra > startup time. > I have not considered Mouse support although I suppose it is a possibility > down the line. > I'm really hoping that Moose will gradually get faster to the point where > this won't matter. :) Me too! There is work on moving some of what Moose does into a core Perl 5 MOP (meta-object protocol). This is probably the first step towards significantly speeding up Moose, without requiring us Moose devs to do absolutely insane things. If we're lucky, MOP v1 will be in Perl 5.18, but I'm not really working on the MOP stuff, so don't quote me. > I've little interest in trying to make Mason 2 "lightweight" enough for > standard CGI. > Honestly given the ready availability of mod_perl, FastCGI, and Starman, I > don't > understand why standard CGI is even considered a viable option anymore (but > I'm sure > diehard CGI fans will yell at me for saying this). I need to deply on my $4 per century hosting, but I need to use all the latest software, and I expect everything to just work even though I can't install CPAN modules, get a shell, or use more than 8MB of memory. Of course, while I joke, this is exactly why PHP has been so insanely popular, so there's a lot to be said for actually making this work. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Mason-users mailing list Mason-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mason-users
