...list of modules are neat but some combination of: underused, slow, unstable, epic hack nobody wants to use
Thats a sweeping statement. Lets have a look...
* My opinion is only just that. The list is informative to what prior art there is. Always go and test and come to ones own measured conclusion.
* I postfixed old to modules that may have issues.
* Everything else I use and have no issues with (as listed elsewhere in thread)
* Haven't used MooseX::MultiMethods much recently but I do use MooseX::Declare regularly and find this and whole Moose type system a godsend that I couldn't live without now.
* re: Regexp::Grammars is new because its dependant upon 5.10 (replaceable RE engines). So it will have no other modules dependant on it yet but it looks like a worthy successor to the venerable Parse::RecDescent to me.
* re: Devel::Declare - I've already said its no "Perl6 macro" so comparing to a Lisp macro is a tad unfair :)

Hopefully that covers my value of "already" :)
