Reviewer scorecard
“End-to-end type safety with Eden treaty is the killer feature. Bun-native performance is excellent.”
“Guaranteed valid JSON from LLMs — no retry loops needed. The FSM approach is mathematically elegant and reliable.”
“Bun-first means limited runtime flexibility. If Bun adoption stalls, Elysia is stranded. Hono is safer.”
“If you need structured outputs from open models, Outlines is the correct solution. Not a hack, but a proper constraint system.”
“Type-safe APIs without code generation is the right direction. Elysia's DX hints at what web frameworks should feel like.”
“Constrained generation will be built into every inference engine. Outlines pioneered the approach.”
