UI note in case the creators of this site are reading: having a right-click on the site logo open a special logo-download menu is probably the wrong choice. If I right click on your site logo it's because I want to open your homepage in a new tab while keeping the original blog post open. The current behavior is unexpected and makes it hard to navigate the site.
The parts where responses have schema-consistent types (OpenApi) and the same types can be used on the client without extra work (RPC) are outside of Zod.

Because in real life deployments, outside of winning benchmarking charts, a JIT is fast enough, and the burden of multiple languages cake layer isn't worth the trouble.

Did they implement a transpiler in Rust?
They also seem to be calling Rust from JS, but not through wasm...
They seem to be doing something with Rust and http, but they're also just using "Pingora"...
Additionally, their homepage is about 20 fps while scrolling on my phone (pixel 4a, brave)
I would honestly love for someone to explain to me wtf is going on.
I for one loved the context menu on logos
I've been using it, and pointing my LLM's to it as example code, because it's type system is so so much better than Hono's. https://elysiajs.com/
I didn't know that it was also flipping fast as frell. (Encore's benchmark is showing them as faster still, of course!)

Elysia does have a write up on how they compare to Hono. Their sound type safety section helps show some differences: https://elysiajs.com/migrate/from-hono.html#sound-type-safet...

On an unrelated note Prisma decided to rewrite their Rust core in Typescript. https://www.prisma.io/blog/from-rust-to-typescript-a-new-cha...
Thanks for sharing the link.
> outside of winning benchmarking charts
Prisma didn’t win the benchmark charts either.
That was the point, delivering business value within a specific set of KPIs makes more sense than winning benchmarks, if the outcome remains the same.
> That was the point
Of what? Doing Rust? Prisma Rust failed to win the benchmarks.
Prisma Typescript also fails to win the benchmarks.
> if the outcome remains the same
Then don't drive a car. You can walk. The outcome is the same.
