It's been a long time since 2023, when Bun.js arrived and disrupted the JavaScript world. During that time, I was working on something unusual—something that encourages all JS developers to write API code that actually runs on top of Rust.

I gave it my best and eventually published this framework on npm. Many people asked for async support, and after countless sleepless nights, I finally achieved it.

Have a look at this framework—still in beta, experimental, and currently working only on Linux, Windows, and ARM T4 on AWS. Brahma-JS is one of my favorite creations, and it has literally edged past uWebSockets.js.

At the same time, I’ve been thinking about the future of Node.js. It has dominated for the past 16 years, going through many ups and downs. I’m truly happy to be a part of this ecosystem and of npm.

On frameworks specifically, I recommend the song:

cause we wanna use one,
but don't wanna choose one

We're gonna build a framework
We didn't like the others,
So we'll write another
