So a long time ago Tom Insam announced mod_tt
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05721.html
and lo! there was resounding silence.
Which is a shame because personally I think it rocks, especially since I
spent a p[ortion of last week trying to remember how to battle with
mod_perl and memory bloat and leaks and slowness and starup.pl and
handler($$) and .... you know what I mean. I don't do web stuff much and
it contrasted very sharply with some stuff I also had to tewak in PHP -
horrible language, dream to get going.
Anyway, I was re-reading our own Mr Wardley's musing on MVC (go
ahead, read. You should and I'll still be here when you get back) ....
http://www.andywardley.com/computers/web/mvc.html
... (You back? Good!) and wondered if there was extra functionality that
you could add to mod_tt that would allow it to be more than just
'execute any .tt file as TT' without going all framework crazy but
whilst still encouraging seperation of concerns. For example, and
riffing off the top of my caffiene lacking head
o Sessions
o *Simple* controller (i.e see if, for foo.tt if there's Foo.pm with a
a handler() method or something)
o Ajax (WARNING buzzword alert) helper
o Caching support
o Something else. need coffee
However, in short, I'm just intrigued why mod_tt never took off.
