Moo is a light-weight object oriented programming framework which
|
||
|
|
aims to be compatible with Moose. It does this by detecting when
|
||
|
|
Moose has been loaded, and automatically "inflating" its classes
|
||
|
|
and roles to full Moose classes and roles. This way, Moo classes
|
||
|
|
can consume Moose roles, Moose classes can extend Moo classes, and
|
||
|
|
so forth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, the surface syntax of Moo differs somewhat from Moose.
|
||
|
|
For example the isa option when defining attributes in Moose must
|
||
|
|
be either a string or a blessed Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object;
|
||
|
|
but in Moo must be a coderef. These differences in surface syntax
|
||
|
|
make porting code from Moose to Moo potentially tricky. MooX::late
|
||
|
|
provides some assistance by enabling a slightly more Moosey surface
|
||
|
|
syntax.
