Hi, Mojolicious founder here. The "Perl grade" is meant to be a cheeky callback to Perl's famous backwards compatibility (you can run pretty much any Perl code written in the past 30 years with the latest Perl unchanged...yada yada). Perhaps it is a bit too subtle.
Back when i started with Node, one of the first problems i constantly ran into was some NPM module deep down in my node_modules folder breaking its API in a minor version bump and causing hours of cleanup work. So pretty early on avoiding this issue became a priority for the mojo.js port, and i see it as one of the main niches for us to corner. You want to write a fast JS/TS web service that still works in 10 years? Use mojo.js!
Maybe you've got a suggestion for how to better communicate this idea?
