[cgiapp] Proposal: Change CGI::Snapp's base class from Hash::FieldHash to Moos (sic)

I would definitely support using one of the Moose-compatible projects. I
am thinking of moving PSGI::Application from Any::Moose to Moo.

I looked at 'Moos' a bit as well. I factored in that Moo has quickly
traction and has a number of extensions and users already, while Mouse
appears to have lost steam, and Moos appears to have a rather small user
base at this point as well.

I'll be interested to see these. In parallel, I've been developing Moose
roles for PSGI::App for config file loading, logging and databas access.

What I have now is for Moose and a bit project-specific, but I plan to
make CPAN-ready Moo-based variants at some point.

I wrote more about the config role here, and posted a link to some
similar code:

My Database role integrates with DBIx::Simple currently.  Eventually, I
would like to switch transactions to use DBIx::Connector as well.
