Absolutely respect the library, the author, and the people that made the effort to actually ship this. But. I'm not coming back after using Hono.

After 10 years, another version update. The stability of this is outstanding.

Love to see a Express.js vs Hono.js comparison

For me this is a bummer „Express 5 no longer supports the signature res.json(obj, status). Instead, set the status and then chain it to the res.json() method like this: .. because now we need to always send a status?! Why can’t we keep default 200?

Feels like the evolution of js libraries has been promise friendly > typesafe > web standards. This lets me remove a dependency on promiserouter or whatever it’s called but man…it’s years late lol

Did CJ accidentally upload this to the wrong channel?

Not to sound ungrateful, but I'm surprised Express still doesn't have first-class support for HTTP/2. My company will probably have to migrate to Fastify because of this.
