This is actually quite an interesting thoughtdump on what we'd like in a web development framework. Some of the things mentioned, such as a great dispatching system, straightforward ORM support and easy to extend APIS (Plugins, customized Controllers, Views or Models) we have. However some of the things mentioned I don't see as current strong points of Catalyst, such as the idea of web pages being highly componentized and capable of managing their own state. This could just be my ignorance though. The article is big on continuations. Catalyst has a plugin for this but I'm not sure many people know what to do with it or what the advantages could be. To be honest I'm not someone that could answer that question. One thing not mentioned as a strong point for a framework is something that is a big plus for perl, which is the size of CPAN. --john > > _______________________________________________ > List: [email protected] > Listinfo: > http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst > Searchable archive: > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/ > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
