Hopefully by now you have seen that Mojolicious is a great way to build your non-blocking web (or even non-web) application. Mojolicious come with all kinds of non-blocking functionality out of the box. For more about that see my blog series on the topic. This post is an aside to show you the cool things happening in Mojolicious lately designed to make writing non-blocking apps easier.

Mojolicious is known for fast development and clean APIs. Mojo was that child with lots of excitement and energy, doing new and cool things, providing new and cool functionality, and yes, changing its mind on occasion. But Mojo is growing up and settling down a little bit. It recently went to its first conference and professional training. And it’s starting a family too!

Mojo is starting to feel more grown up, and grown-ups have responsibilities. To borrow one of Perl’s catch phrases, this more mature Mojo knows that it is not good enough anymore to just make things possible, it’s time to make them easy.
