Happy birthday Dancer - two years of the Perl Dancer web framework project

Congrats! I use Dancer for a few projects since about one year and I’m very happy with it. Everybody who knows a little bit of Perl (or wants to learn some) should check it out and build some fun website/webapp with it :)

Edit: A few facts about why I’m happy to use it:

1) Dancer is well-documented and uses an easy syntax. You can get going pretty fast.

2) Dancer is a light-weight framework – you can make many choices by yourself (file/folder layout, templating, the way you want to implement controllers, …). It comes with reasonable defaults, though.

3) It integrates well with the whole Plack stack, so you can use any of the available middleware and/or write your own middleware easily.

4) Whenever I needed some feature which was not there, it was a matter of a few hours to implement an appropriate plugin. It’s quite extensible.
