Reviewer scorecard
“End-to-end type safety with Eden treaty is the killer feature. Bun-native performance is excellent.”
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“Bun-first means limited runtime flexibility. If Bun adoption stalls, Elysia is stranded. Hono is safer.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“Type-safe APIs without code generation is the right direction. Elysia's DX hints at what web frameworks should feel like.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
