Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

Best instruction-following of any model. Tool use and extended thinking are reliable. The API design is clean.

80/100 · ship

End-to-end type safety with Eden treaty is the killer feature. Bun-native performance is excellent.

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

Claude consistently produces the most useful outputs for real work. The longer context window is a genuine advantage.

45/100 · skip

Bun-first means limited runtime flexibility. If Bun adoption stalls, Elysia is stranded. Hono is safer.

Futurist
80/100 · ship

Anthropic's focus on safety without sacrificing capability is the right approach. Claude keeps getting better.

80/100 · ship

Type-safe APIs without code generation is the right direction. Elysia's DX hints at what web frameworks should feel like.
