If I just heard of Mojolicious, this would probably be the first time I've heard of Signatures. Seeing the signatures would probably confuse me and my attention would be drawn to experimental -- in fact I'd be nervous to proceed with Mojolicious as an option for my goals due to the explicit 'experimental' and probably not bother to run the example at all. Moreover, this is where I was saying I think 'use Mojolicious::Signatures;' would be cleaner for the front page than 'use 5.20.0; use experimental 'signatures';'. Also, I think it best to not advertise limitations in the front page example that perl 5.20.0 is necessary for this awesomeness. Yes it's true that it's necessary, but sell them first on the possibilities. Let them deal with the requirements after they're sold. New to Mojolicious, I think 'b' is more understandable, but I think 'a' would be less overwhelming and not any less understandable with 'use Mojolicious::Signatures;' and only the astute reader would pick up on the actual use of signatures in the code and be captivated by it; the less astute would simply see the simplicity with nothing too scary negatively holding their attention. Just to complete the thought, state the requirement of 5.20.0 outside of the actual code, right where you say just copy and paste this code and run it with perl 5.20.0+. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Thanks for reading. :D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mojolicious" group.
