Nice. I'm looking to migrate away from a legacy custom framework over Express and this could help. If someone has tried both, can anyone share how it compares

  From my understanding trpc is very similar, however, the rpc mechanism is not a standard. ts-rest produces openapi schemas and speaks REST over http, as well as a typed client. That being said, I am actually slowly migrating off ts-rest and adopting @effect/schema and @effect/platform/HttpApi, I foresee this being the direction the typescript ecosystem heads in over the next few years. However, the APIs are not stable yet and it has a bit of a learning curve, so would not adopt lightly

  I really wanted to adopt tRPC but the deal breaker was it being opinionated on status codes without allowing configurability. Because I needed to meet an existing API spec, that meant ts-rest was a better option. I think there's an aditional option with a native spec generator in frameworks like Hono, and maybe Elysia.
