I can write a web application in some homebrew <insert language> and it can grow to 40 developers, 1000 db tables and thousands of files. But it would be terrible to work on (I know I've seen it). Or i can write the same thing with a framework, and have it much more manageable.
Realistically, when was the last time you say down and wrote a big application in vanilla <insert language>?
Thanks!

That said, I think our dialects are merging, (well more likely British English is becoming Americanised, but you guys make all the tv, so that's to be expected), for example, when I was younger no one said "ass", it was always "arse", but nowadays it's nearly always "ass"; except for the older generations.
But, we have the same problem within the UK, in the north, we have three meals, breakfast, dinner and tea. In the south they have breakfast, lunch and dinner. It can be very confusing, especially in films when someone invites someone round for tea, but there's no food and it's 1pm!
bearing in mind mod_perl's original use was not for writing applications, it was for messing with apache, for doing the things you can't easily do in the config. but where there's a way, abuse will follow, and before you know it whole apps will be written with this
ah well, those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
so, while it may seem like a good idea now, you can bet in 5-10 years it will no longer look so clever
There's no denying the NT kernel is an excellent piece of engineering.
In the end I wrote a replacement that did was I needed in under 100 lines of perl. DB management should be simple. No point over complicating it
Not forgetting the guy who writes it is not that friendly, we sent a patch to change the default answer to revert to no, instead of yes. First off he said it was useless, then after some prodding over several months he copied it in and committed it in his name, no mention of where it came from. Real classy
And I'm sure the extensions to the webextensions api will provide enough to do what needs to be done
edit: I submitted it
Anyone have more info on this?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not in favour of this, but the distinction is clear and false misinformation isn't going to help prevent this.
