This should be added as a minimal dependency.
Someone suggested to use Any::YAML, perhaps we should consider changing
YAML for it, so people could use YAML::Tiny, to get even lighter apps.

Maybe we need "Ballerina," a really, really light-weight Dancer fork (nano-framework) with all the *::Tiny modules. I am currently very happy with Template::Tiny.

That said, I think Dancer is probably a very small part of the rest of the application's "weight."

I don't have a problem with the existing nano-frameworks on CPAN, but I personally do not understand them entirely.

Dancer is very light-weight, and is truly slim. Many things are interchangable in it and many can be removed entirely.
Any lighter than this, you'd just write your own PSGI handler, and.. what's the point of that? I stopped writing CGIs *because of it*.
