[dancer-users] Why learn Dancer?

[Andrew Solomon]

Hi John

I've read this and I still don't really know what a micro web framework is

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6784007/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-micro-framework

but my gut feeling is simply that for a micro framework, a large
portion of functionality is acquired via plugins.

Can you clarify the definition?
