Looks like a cheap ripoff of Mojolicious.

I think both frameworks share similar vision and there is no need to attack each other.
Looks more like Dancer took the vision from Mojolicious and butchered it.
No, the vision comes from Sinatra, not Mojo. The original blog post (French): http://www.sukria.net/fr/archives/2009/07/17/teaser/

There are similarities though between both frameworks, but they are definitely different.

Calling Dancer a rip-off is a bit easy, regarding all the community work that has been done recently.

By all measurements the community of Mojolicious seems a lot bigger. Just because you rip another project off with 3 people doesn't make it any better... just shows your lack of actual vision and focus.
Seriously guy? This hostility towards Dancer is silly.
I'm just a fellow Perl hacker who thinks stealing code without proper attribution is disgusting.
A fellow Perl hacker would recall that there's more than one way to do it. And the Mojolicious internals don't look like the Dancer internals.
Thats why i used the word "butchered" before.
This kind of behaviour is an embarassment to the community. It's poison.

Move along. If you claim there's stealing of code, prove it and show it. Otherwise, save this crap. You like Mojolicious. Fine. Go do that. The Dancer crew will continue on it's way. It affects you not at all.

I had investigated Mojolicious but this kind of attitude from you and from it's creator have long kept me out of that community. Yes, the channel can have people who are helpful, but bile begets bile and if you're an example of the Mojolicious community, I want no part of it.

Actually i hate all those micro frameworks, Catalyst beats all of them even for small projects. http://www.catalystframework.org
Hey sri, how are you? ;)
