How does this differ to Mastra?

What is the problem this solves? Why would I use this instead of telling claude to vomit out the underlying boilerplate.

If only there were great backend languages Go, C#, what have you. Nah, thank god we have javascript

import { getVirtualSandbox } from '@flue/sdk/cloudflare'; You lost me there. Looked kind of cool too.

Vibe coding aside [1], it's very interesting software projects these days don't really care about adding a single test [2]. [1]: https://github.com/withastro/flue/blob/8fdf8e0e9df5bd33c3120... [2]: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Awithastro%2Fflue+test+pat...

So we get it, all stuff agentic will be named after various diseases, how apt.

The new JavaScript web frameworks are agent frameworks

Why TS? The npm ecosystem is insane and insecure. Not a chance we are running this in our machines. Go/Rust way better choices. Besides, if it’s all vibe coded, it shouldn’t matter for the author

What I wonder is, why do we still need code etc? Shouldn’t all code be just a promt? This way it becomes language and platform agnostic.

Another typescript library! Woohoo!

As other comments have said, it would be great to add what this does that existing solutions can't. I see the project has been active since Feb, and has < 150 commits. I'd assume this is still pretty immature. So why use this? I think more explanation is needed.

Ok, real question. What products are people actually building with agent frameworks? I get the utility of AI coding tools and generic chat apps, but that is the extent of utility that I've been able to get from AI. I'm looking for examples that are real businesses, not toys.
