Grab me on #perl6, or by email. There's also sporadic discussion of Web.pm going on at #november-wiki. > Would be > interesting to see if Catalyst is being ported over as well. We're aiming for something very much like Catalyst. I'm reading up on Catalyst; I bought the book and all. Regularly talking to mst on #catalyst, who is supportive of a port and has some information about which traps not to fall into. I'm also casting my net wide and looking at a dozen other similar frameworks in different languages. Partly to give me the required background, and partly to make sure we actually steal as many good ideas as possible, just as Perl 6 itself does. > I see Perl 6 really taking off if the tools for server side scripting/web > development > get revamped to take on PHP's and Ruby's in terms of ease of use and > deployment. I salute you, sir. We're on the same page. The level of simplicity we're aiming for is "ridiculously simple", also known as "I pushed the button, and it just worked!". > Perl 5/mod_perl2 aren't that easy to administer from a shared hosting > perspective > and takes some work to get going properly, find the right modules etc... > > Perhaps there should be a version of Perl tailored for the web with built in > features or maybe an > include/explicit option to load a specific set of language features. There's been talk about that. If we're really diligent, we might have such a distribution ready for April, shipped with cool use cases and all. // Carl
