[Catalyst] Spending time with Catalyst (slightly OT)

[Roman]

Check jQuery. It's better than all of the other libraries combined. 
Reminds me of Catalyst ways as well. Its a framework, but it's not 
limiting, you can do whatever you want your own ways. And it's 
extendibles by plugins. Just released a stable version 1. Strong 
community as well. Mailing list gets 100-200 message a day.
