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.

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,
