Moose is wonderful. Use Moose instead of Mouse!

Unfortunately, Moose has a compile-time penalty. Though significant progress has
|
|
|
|
|
been made over the years, the compile time penalty is a non-starter for some
|
|
|
|
|
applications.

Mouse aims to alleviate this by providing a subset of Moose's functionality,
|
2009-04-10 10:43:11 +02:00
|
|
|
faster.

Compatibility with Moose has been the utmost concern. Fewer than 1% of the
|
|
|
|
|
tests fail when run against Moose instead of Mouse. Mouse code coverage is also
|
|
|
|
|
over 97%. Even the error messages are taken from Moose. The Mouse code just
|
|
|
|
|
runs the test suite 3x-4x faster.

|
|

|
|
|
|
The idea is that, if you need the extra power, you should be able to run
|
|
|
|
|
s/Mouse/Moose/g on your codebase and have nothing break. To that end,
|
2009-04-10 10:43:11 +02:00
|
|
|
we have written Any::Moose which will act as Mouse unless Moose is loaded,
|
|
|
|
|
in which case it will act as Moose.

Mouse also has the blessings of Moose's author, stevan.
