Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

Perfect for prototyping. I described a dashboard and had a working app in 3 minutes. Not production-ready, but unbeatable for speed-to-demo.

80/100 · ship

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

Skeptic
45/100 · skip

Impressive demo, but the generated code is messy and you'll rewrite most of it. If you can't code, you can't fix what it breaks. Know what you're getting into.

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

Creator
80/100 · ship

As a creator who needs quick landing pages and MVPs, this is a game-changer. I built a waitlist page with email capture in under 5 minutes.

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