Mobile delivery is not subjective...
There are numerous standards which set out design standards for the mobile web such as W3C and Google. Google Search Console evaluates websites for mobile compatibility and, for my personal site it gives warnings such as Text too small to read and Clickable elements too close together. My website suffers the same problem as here - it was written in the days when websites were viewed on desktops. That world has changed.

This site is one of the very few content-driven sites I use which is fast, reliable and bandwidth-lean

These days most sites that are lot laden with AJAX (yes - I'm looking at you Facebook) are fast and I agree that this is important. But, all the site speed in the world is lost if the user has to pinch the screen to expand it to avoid pressing the link right next to the one they mean to press, then turn their device on its side to get a wide enough view to read the text.

Reliable I totally agree with and, given that this site is written by Perl experts, the software reliability should not be an issue and the hardware is constant.

I don't know where on the planet you located hippo - maybe it's different at the bottom of a riverbed - but here in the UK we live in a world of mobile video streaming and bandwidth costs half of nothing both to serve and to consume. Bandwidth is a concern but not at the expense of usability.

But I go back to my point that this site sends the wrong image...just for one moment compare what it looks like to Mojolicious. That site is bright, funky, east to read, responsive and mobile-friendly. It's look and feel is a credit to the product and to Perl. It sends the message of modern technology that is fit for today's world.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
