  • I wrote Class::Accessor::Classy because I was sick of the Class::Accessor approach of "you must inherit the meta class." This was when Moose was still very young, but I still don't see the speed in Moose. C::A::Classy certainly lacks a lot of the features of Moose, but it is fast and light enough to be a foundation for serious work without getting in the way.

    I do occasionally want something which Moose would provide beautifully, but paying speed/size for the whole thing while only using 2% of the features

    • If you have commandline applications or CGI applications that are extremely response-time sensitive You should really see if Mouse can work for you. It's got more update and active development than any of the other OO frameworks from what I can tell, with speed as it's reason for being. That being said, I write commandline apps with Moose and find it more than responsive enough. Your sensitivity my be different than mine though.

      • Yup, I'm aware of Mouse. And I'd encourage people writing modules that have deps (which is what triggered the original post) to use it instead. I might even use it, but I enjoy doing other things too much >=)

        Speed is only one way in which the abstractions created by Moose leaks. I was just asking that people who write modules consider the law of leaky abstractions in general before using Moose in modules not related to Moose. And then doing some off topic bitching ;)
