I'm building Pithos (https://pithos.dev), a zero-dependency TypeScript utility ecosystem.

Five modules, one package: data utilities (Arkhe), schema validation (Kanon), Result/Option types (Zygos), typed error classes (Sphalma), and a Lodash migration bridge (Taphos).

The idea is that these patterns compose natively: Validate with Kanon, get a typed Result back via Zygos, chain transformations with Arkhe. One pipeline, no try/catch, full type inference.

Benchmarks: ~4x smaller and 5-11x faster than Zod 4, ~21x smaller than Lodash, ~3x smaller than Neverthrow.

Available on npm as @pithos/core
