I've submitted a grant proposal to the Perl Foundation, you can leave a comment there to show them your interest, every comment counts!

What is a web framework without a pretty website?

Mojolicious?!

Because explaining internals always sucks, this will be much more fun. :)

The core of the Mojo Web Framework

sri — 2008-10-09T11:22:04+00:00

This time i'm showing you a bit about the basic ideas behind Mojo.

Mojo, a new kind of web framework

sri — 2008-09-24T18:19:03+00:00

It started as a Catalyst competitor but resulted in something different, the good kind of different. :)

Here's the first part of my upcoming blog article series, Why Mojo won't kill Catalyst.

Did TPF give up on Perl5?

sri — 2006-11-05T22:05:30+00:00

I think so. :(

Mojo applications, valid cpan modules or not?

sri — 2006-05-06T12:20:02+00:00

You may know, by default Catalyst applications are valid cpan modules, with the application name as root namespace.
Now that i'm designing Mojo with usability in mind i can't think of a good reason for keeping that format.

When i made the decision 1 1/2 years ago for Catalyst i thought it would be useful to be able to upload applications to cpan, but today there is only one!

Installing the applications on a host system doesn't make much sense either, so why do it again?

With the old format a Mojo app would look like this:

TestApp
TestApp/lib
TestApp/lib/TestApp
TestApp/lib/TestApp/Component
TestApp/lib/TestApp/Component/Example.pm
TestApp/lib/TestApp/Context.pm
TestApp/lib/TestApp/Dispatcher
TestApp/lib/TestApp/Dispatcher/Example.pm
TestApp/lib/TestApp/SomethingElse.pm
TestApp/lib/TestApp.pm
TestApp/Makefile.PL
TestApp/script
TestApp/script/testapp_server.pl
TestApp/t
TestApp/t/01use.t

A newer (non valid) version could look like this.

TestApp
TestApp/Component
TestApp/Component/Example.pm
TestApp/Dispatcher
TestApp/Dispatcher/Example.pm
TestApp/SomethingElse.pm
TestApp/Context.pm
TestApp/Application.pm
TestApp/Makefile.PL
TestApp/script
TestApp/script/server.pl
TestApp/t
TestApp/t/01use.t

The basic layout for scripts and tests makes sense and can naturally stay...

Got Mojo?

sri — 2006-05-03T16:26:50+00:00

Woodstock is now Mojo. :)

Thanks for all your suggestions!
New irc channel is #mojo on irc.perl.org.

Woodstock needs a new name!

sri — 2006-05-02T14:19:18+00:00

How would you name a new web framework today?

I like "Jifty" and "Catalyst", but those names are kinda taken.
The best suggestion so far was "ReAction".

What do you think?

Yes, I left the Catalyst Project

sri — 2006-05-02T13:36:45+00:00

It's true.

http://lists.rawmode.org/pipermail/catalyst/2006-May/007250.html

The reasons will stay between the other core developers and me, so please don't ask for details.
Thanks to Adam Kennedy who did a great job negotiating and good luck to the remaining Catalyst developers.

You may want to join #woodstock on irc.perl.org if you like talking about web framework design. ;)

Removed to save use.perl from legal trouble

sri — 2005-07-28T10:35:00+00:00

You may guess why. :-(

EDIT: Note the timestamp, this entry has nothing to do with Catalyst.
