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

CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.

Skeptic
45/100 · skip

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

80/100 · ship

The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.

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

CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.
