Reviewer scorecard
“End-to-end type safety with Eden treaty is the killer feature. Bun-native performance is excellent.”
“Too expensive for what it offers. Plenty of open-source alternatives.”
“Bun-first means limited runtime flexibility. If Bun adoption stalls, Elysia is stranded. Hono is safer.”
“Solid execution. Does what it promises and the DX is clean.”
“Type-safe APIs without code generation is the right direction. Elysia's DX hints at what web frameworks should feel like.”
“Interesting concept but the execution isn't there yet. Give it 6 months.”
