Yet another JS framework, and it looks great. I've only skimmed the doc, but I already like its simplicity.

But I have a mixed opinion on the big Context object. It may help to write less verbose code, but it can also cause OOP's antipattern God Object[1], even though the context is more of a namespace rather than a big object.

  // Not
  app.get('/hello', (c) => { return c.json({ greet: `Hello ${c.req.params('id')}`)
  // But
  import { jsonResponse } from 'library'
  app.get('/hello', (req) => { return jsonResponse({ greet: `Hello ${req.params('id')}`)

Fix: format

Hono is great, the context object is really just a collection of helper methods for returning responses, a way to store values through the lifetime of the request, and the Req and Res objects. I understand the concern but I wouldn't let that stop you from trying it out.

I was not totally serious about it. My hunt for the next best framework is over... I tend to use vanilla JS for my pet projects and for more serious stuff I use whatever I find interesting or what the project uses :-)

So instead of using battle proven frameworks (such as Laravel, rails, Django, etc) you just invent your own?

Doesn’t sound like a great idea to me.

It depends. If its something like my personal todo list pure-todo [1], I tend to write it down in less than a week without using any frameworks and hardly ever touch it again.

If it's something like m4b-tool[2] or tone [3], that has to be maintained for a while, I tend to use battle proven libraries or frameworks (in this case Symfony, because it is an older project and Spectre.Console and atldotnet for tone). I prefer libraries over frameworks though, less background magic.

However, I have the feeling that you also find something in this comment that you don't like - maybe the shameless advertisement of my FOSS projects ;-)
