  is that it doesn't really matter what you think. A considerable portion of the rest of the world will end up using Moose irrespective of your opinion of it. Will you accept it in your dependencies and spend your time working on something useful, or you dedicate the remainder of your life to shaving Yak::Tiny?

    A considerable portion? Really? Most people I run into using Perl don't even know there's a CPAN.

    And, isn't this the same tired argument about why we should be using whatever the hot new technolgy is? I've lost count how many times I've been told this about some Perl module or framework. Indeed, if that's really what you believe, why do you even use Perl? You should be using Java, since even more of the world uses that. And Windows too. And ..., and ..., and ...

      You merely whine like a fanboi without responding to any of the actual issues Adam raises and that Moose people acknowledge. Moose might be a great project, but the fucking fanbois like you are enough to keep me away (despite how cool the core Moose people are).

      This is just sadly ironic. You're saying you are letting the community decide for you what you should and shouldn't explore technically without taking the project itself into account. We have all had our fanboi moments. But, as a Moose developer, I w

        I think you don't understand irony. I'm not letting anyone choose for me. I'm big enough to make my own decisions.

          Irony (from the Ancient Greek εἰρωνεία eirōneía, meaning hypocrisy, deception, or feigned ignorance) is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance between what one says or does and what one means or what is generally understood.

          The incongruity between what you said:

          the fucking fanbois like you are enough to keep me away

          and what you mean

          I'm not letting anyone choose for me. I'm big enough to make my own decisions.

          Seemed ironic. Especially in the context of a thread kicked off by Someone (Adam) telling someone else (Dave) what to do, and in response to someone (Hobbs) telling someone else that their opinion won't matter in the long run (Adam).

          You and I have talked about Moose in the past, and discussed it's faults, I think you had valuable input. I'd hate to have people intentionally or unintentionally drive you away from Moose for reasons other than it's technical merits. Which was the entire point of my comments before, there was no offense intended.
