Hello! Has someone had a chance to compare Ktor and ExpressJS? Their approaches seem to be very similar.

If you wish raw performance, here is snapshot from TFB. Ktor is twice as fast.

Is this a test conducted using Kotlin JS target for ktor?

No, it’s JVM

Fair enough.

@orangy why am I not surprised about the performance? 🙂

I think the similarities start and end with the ability to register endpoint handlers using lambdas tbh

Your colleague thinks a DSL is what makes a framework? 😂

@kenkyee my pitch was that "ktor is super small, but it is very easy to connect integration modules to it". The DSL wasn't even mentioned

ExpressJS is that... Thought you showed him the DSL...
