Mojolicious vs webapp2: What are the differences?
Developers describe Mojolicious as "Perl real-time web framework". 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 While most of the techniques used are outdated now, the idea behind it is not.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. On the other hand, webapp2 is detailed as "Lightweight Python web framework compatible with Google App Engine’s webapp". webapp2 is a simple. it follows the simplicity of webapp, but improves it in some ways: it adds better URI routing and exception handling, a full featured response object and a more flexible dispatching mechanism.
Mojolicious and webapp2 can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.
Mojolicious is an open source tool with 2.12K GitHub stars and 498 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Mojolicious's open source repository on GitHub.
