• Posted Are roles only semantically different from inheritance? to sillymoose

  I've been using roles lately and was going to write about them on perltricks.com. However I've come into difficulty in explaining how roles are functionally different from inheritance.

  I've found that the typical features described about roles in contrast to inheritance are:

  To me, Mojolicious and Dancer look very similar on the surface. The introduction tutorials for both have almost identical syntax. Is non-blocking one advantage that Mojolicious has over Dancer?

• Joel Berger commented on Writing Non-Blocking Applications with Mojolicious: Part 1

  Yes most of the frameworks have a similar syntax, even in other language to some extent. Non-blocking is a feature that Mojolicious provides and (to my knowledge) no other framework does (at least not built-in and well integrated).

  Mojolicious also has lots of additional built-in functionality that others pull from external modules. While some have called this anti-cpan (which I think is silly, Mojolicious is on cpan), this allows for these functionalities to be well integrated in Mojolicious. See my Mojolicious Introduction…

• Gustaf commented on Writing Non-Blocking Applications with Mojolicious: Part 1

  Would be of tremendous appreciation if you would consider a rewrite of this Mojo series for current Mojolicious.

  I’m struggling to get a hang of it all, and the example code here dont work on current Mojo version.

  Really great reading tho.
