Detailed Comparison

PHP

Mojolicious

Fast, flexible and pragmatic, PHP powers everything from your blog to the most popular websites in the world.

Back in the early days of the web, many people learned Perl because of a wonderful Perl library called CGI. It was simple enough to get started without knowing much about the language and powerful enough to keep you going, learning by doing was much fun. While most of the techniques used are outdated now, the idea behind it is not. Mojolicious is a new attempt at implementing this idea using state of the art technology.
