Is there any hope that Dancer2 will stabilize during that time?
It's hard to say. Most of the Dancer team is working on the project during the little free time they have, so progress tends to come in sporadic spurts.
We don't want to go through all this work, then be looking at another
big rewrite 2-3 years from now because Dancer1 has become a ghost town, as Apache::ASP is now. It's always possible that Dancer itself as a platform will fall out of favor. But as for the eventual eclipsing of Dancer1 for Dancer2, I think it's less of a adoption danger. The DSL and most of the interface are the same for both incarnation. Migrating a project from Dancer 1 to Dancer 2 should be a matter of a few tweaks and nothing close to a rewrite (and I know, I keep going back and forth between D1 and D2 in my own stuff). Of course, there are also the state of the plugins to consider on both incarnation, but usually if there a plugin missing for one version, it doesn't take long for somebody to migrate it. Joy, `/anick
