Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

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

80/100 · ship

Types from server to client with zero code generation. The DX is magical — change a server type, client updates instantly.

Skeptic
45/100 · skip

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

80/100 · ship

For TypeScript full-stack apps, tRPC eliminates an entire category of bugs. No schemas, no codegen, just types.

Futurist
80/100 · ship

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

80/100 · ship

tRPC proved that type-safe APIs don't need schemas or code generation. The idea is being adopted everywhere.
