So what is exciting to you? (Or maybe you like watching paint dry? You
didn't specify.)
I'm excited about Catalyst because a lot of people are writing web
applications these days. You may have heard of applications like
"Google", "delicious", "YouTube", etc., most of which are web-based.
Web applications are where the world is heading, regardless of whether
or not that excites you :)
But anyway, if these people choose perl as their web application
platform of choice, it means that there are going to be a lot of
contributions back to the perl community. More perl mongers == more
fun! That's why Catalyst excites me.
