Reviewer scorecard
“End-to-end type safety with Eden treaty is the killer feature. Bun-native performance is excellent.”
“20x faster than Babel with full compatibility. Used by Next.js which validates production readiness.”
“Bun-first means limited runtime flexibility. If Bun adoption stalls, Elysia is stranded. Hono is safer.”
“Babel is effectively replaced. SWC's speed improvement is dramatic and the compatibility is excellent.”
“Type-safe APIs without code generation is the right direction. Elysia's DX hints at what web frameworks should feel like.”
“SWC is the invisible engine powering modern JS tooling. Rust compilation speed enables new tool architectures.”
