    I absolutely love how Mojolicious::Lite let me develop in an afternoon a simple website for a little idea of mine in a single file.

    And the “deployment” was suprisingly painles. Thanks for that and congratulations for the new release!

    What does "real-time" mean in terms of a web framework? As a web developer for over a decade, I don't recall seeing a web framework described with that before and have no idea how to interpret it.

    It's fine for this project, like others, to have a turn on HN every now and then, but could you drop the promotional voting and commenting? It's happened several times and we usually ban accounts that do this.

    Congrats on the release! I've used mojolicious for several of my personal projects and it's been wonderful.

    @kraih I applaud your work ethic as the frequency of your commits and releases show you are dedicated to the project and keeping it moving forward. Thank you!

    Just recently trying to get into Perl (trying to bone up for a specific position that requires it) and Mojolicious has been an incredible discovery: the "lightweight" Rails/Django replacement (somewhere between Rails and Sinatra in terms of ceremony and structure) I've always wanted.

    We are also heavily using it since 3.x. Thank you!

    Any reasons for picking Cpanel::JSON::XS over JSON::XS? The latter has marginally better performance.

    Brilliant news! Mojolicious is the best. And the new logo is fantastic.

    Woho 8.0! I enjoy quickly writing simple web apps with Mojolicious::Lite in particular.
