As the author of parcimonie, I can only agree it would be great if
someone took it over and made it more lightweight. My initial priority
was to have something that works, and I'm glad if it paves the way for
something better. FWIW, the next upstream release will use Moo,
instead of Moose, so will be a bit more lightweight both in terms of
dependencies, and of memory footprint (especially once I get to port
GnuPG::Interface to Moo).
Are there specific pieces of the implementation that seem too complex
to you, or any available option that could be dropped in your opinion?
Cheers,
