Reviewer scorecard
“Runs everywhere — Workers, Deno, Bun, Node. The middleware system and RPC mode are well-designed.”
“Best open-source coding agent. SWE-bench performance is impressive and the architecture is well-designed.”
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
“Benchmark performance doesn't equal real-world reliability. Still needs human review for anything important.”
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
“Open-source coding agents will democratize software engineering productivity. SWE-Agent leads this movement.”
