Hi, Jeff,
I work on a project with more than 1M lines of code in Perl (and
mod_perl).
My thoughts:

For me I run several apps on mod_perl, including a AI prediction app
which costs heavy CPU/ram. These apps run for long time and behave
just fine.
Today it sounds very few people use mod_perl for
development/deployment. I think the main reasons may include,
1. perl for web development is somewhat out of date
2. mp lacks threads support
3. lacks a modern framework (rails like)
And others? what's your thought?
I think the main reason is that kids learn Python in kindergarten these
days,
and therefore they do not seek a scripting language which is more
powerful
(inline regexes, local(), etc.) and in some aspects more regular
(block = scope, oh well) than Python.
That's a new viewpoint to me. but yes, the language in AI industry today
is primarily python (like tensorflow and pytorch). Many students in
university start their programming from python.
The threads/event-driven workflow is a problem, yes. When I wanted to
add
events/websockets to the system I work on, I fired up a separate web
server
based on Mojolicious instead, just for websockets part of it.
It's great to see you have Mojo serve for websockets. I once had the
same idea as you, but sorry didn't take into action finally.
Then I wrote some more Mojolicious apps, and for small systems it works
quite well. _And_ it adds a lot of fun. There are rough edges, and the
authors
seem to shift their focus on mojo,js, but it works and it is pleasure
to use.
Just my two cents.
Thank you.
