I still don't see a concrete use case that would justify using Zod in favor of `shield()`. Both "input cannot exceed 256 chars" and "number must be positive" are one-liners in JavaScript.

I'm more than open to support Zod & co, but I'd like to see a concrete use case for it.

Fair enough. Still, this makes your original comment regarding "less boilerplate" kinda ironic... and I'm still not seeing any mention of advantages over tRPC. I'm more than willing to have my mind changed but you aren't giving me much material.

It is ironic because AFAICT Zod is actually more boilerplate than `shield()` :-). Although, the Zod familiarity is a clear argument in favor of Zod.

Speaking of boilerplate, one Telefunc feature I'm particularly excited about is its capability to automatically generate runtime type safety, so you don't even need `shield()` nor Zod then. But it's an experimental feature, let's see how it works out at scale.

The main problem with Telefunc right now is the lack of clear documentation which I'm going to work on in the next weeks/months. Hopefully, it will then become clear why Telefunc is simpler and less boilerplate. Stay tuned.

In the meantime feel free to check out the `examples/` and feel free to hit me up on Discord.
