Bug #49270 for Array-Compare: Remove the use of Moose

Mon Aug 31 01:49:35 2009 adamk [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Remove the use of Moose

Array::Compare has switched to Moose. This adds a huge amount of additional dependencies, and the slower process startup time means Array::Compare is not longer usable in any command line applications that need to be snappy (or anything else that cares a lot about startup time, like Padre). If this can't be fixed, we're going to need to remove Array::Compare (and everything that uses it) from Padre.

Correction. Test::Warn has ditched Array::Compare for us (Although I think they were going to do it anyway even before the Moose switch) so this now only has an impact of the 4 or 5 remaining modules that use Array::Compare, non of which look useful in a command line context.

I agree. Something with such a simple fixed scope shouldn't use Moose. If a user wants to use it with a Moose project, they already can. And if a user wants to extend it with Moose, they already can. I would also be finding another way to compare arrays besides an Moosified Array::Compare.

I'm not going to roll back the Moose changes. I've read carefully everything that has been written on this subject over the last couple of weeks and I'm happy that I'm doing the right thing by switching the module to using Moose. If you want (currently) non-Moose alternatives then please look at List::Compare or Data::Compare. Alternatively, the source code for Array::Compare is available on github[1] - feel free to fork an older version and release a ::Tiny version. Cheers, Dave...

I see that List::Compare finally switched to Moo. So actually this request was accepted, and maybe should be turned into a "resolved" instead of "rejected"? Or is Moo also regarded as too heavy-weight?
