Thanks for your rude reply.

None of these seem to be anything like Rails - they look much more geared towards the Sinatra/Flask micro-framework crowd. People didn't start flocking to Ruby because of Sinatra (not that there's anything wrong with Sinatra).

Thanks for your projection of rudeness... Makes me feel extra special given I spent about ten minutes linking all that stuff.

Baliador is meant to be a take on Dancer from Perl 5 which is somewhere between Sinatra and Rails in complexity. In the Perl 5 world the equivalent of Rails would be Catalyst. But even that isn't really as monolithically well integrated.

The point I'm making is Rails wasn't built in a day and to date Perl 6 has had quite a few people want to kickstart a Rails initiative but they always do it with new code and new ideas cloning a previous paradigm. A better plan is to embed yourself in what's there especially the core language. With grammars you could write a complete DSL as a web framework with all of the power of Perl 6. But it would take someone knowing the core language well to make something that's slick. For behind the scenes there is little reason to reimplement HTTP parsing/serving since there are a couple of modules that are tested against every release of the Rakudo compiler already.
