Just downloaded and ran #Perl Dancer. Really curious about it. It looks
amazing.

Perl Dancer is amazing! If you're into web development, definitely give
Dancer a look, you might be surprised how fun and productive web development
can be these days. Dancer is two things packed together: it stays out of
your way if you like that, but also provides you with very powerful
primitives to get the complex web tasks done in just a few lines of code.
Highly recommended to both novices and experts!

For a simple framework I suggest Dancer. Great thing, it made me stop
hating web development.

...there's finally a web framework that works for me. It's called Dancer, and
as redundant as this might sound; Dancer, is an effortless web framework. [...]
It took me more time studying Dancer's features and specs, than the time it
took for me to write the whole mini-blog app.

In the end I went with Dancer and I'm loving it so far - some more docs
on the idiomatic way to deal with user creation, authentication and
roles might be nice but I think I figured it all out pretty quickly.

Trying out @PerlDancer as a basis for building web apps. Very nice.

Just wrapped up an eight hour scrum task in 90 minutes. I'm really
enjoying using Dancer. Awesome, awesome, awesome!

Thanks to the @PerlDancer guys in IRC for their help.. better than any
commercial support IMO

Dancer is the first web framework I haven't wanted to pee on :-)

Of all the light-weight frameworks, Dancer was the nicest to
work with when I went through to evaluate them...

I just spent yesterday with Perl Dancer and was able to get a website
going for my Dad's software consulting company in no time at all!
Thanks for all your efforts on Dancer it is pretty awesome.

Dancer is the first web framework that hasn't given me an aneurysm. #perl

I’m really enjoying using Perl’s Dancer for building lightweight web
applications. It’s heavily inspired by Ruby’s Sinatra framework, but clearly
Perlish.

[...] the words that come to mind are "quick", "small", "simple" and "clean".
There's a close alignment of the packages and methods with the concepts one
has in mind when doing web development.
Formerly a Perl teacher, I never taught web development to the first-year
students because the learning curve would have been too steep. I think Dancer
has changed the game and beginners *can* learn Perl web development using
Dancer. (We'll find out at the beginner's class I'm giving at YAPC in Riga:)

I like how dancer doesn't force you to code in any specific way, it provides
the right amount of syntactic sugar to get your app up and running in double
quick time - but doesn't get in the way when you want to do something else.
It's nice and light, and can be deployed in many environments. Thumbs up from
me!

Got my webservice up and running in 1 day with no knowledge about Dancer
whatsover.[...] Dancer is excellent for middle size websites or web services.
It doesn't get in your way, and supports a [...] lot of backend for deploying
and running your application.
The transition from developing a prototype to having a production
ready app is very smooth.

I have - and would second frameworks like Perl Dancer as fantastic examples
of what the Perl community is up to these days.

Perl is [...] thriving and making some very cool new stuff
while steadily negating the argument of being line-noise (Dancer comes to
mind as an excellent project to both read and use).

Dancer is a breath of fresh air in the convoluted world of Perl web frameworks.
I have a lot vested in CGI::Application, another fine framework, but Dancer has
really caught my fancy for future web apps.

@PerlDancer is the easiest way to write webapps. One day from idea to
implemention. Fantastic work.
