Aren't the "defineApp" and "route" methods in rwsdk also magic? It feels like rwsdk is just being more deliberate about when and where to introduce those magic functions.

I'm a big fan of rwsdk so far. Thanks for building!

I think a notable difference is with one, you can read the code in the file and understand what it will return. With others, you need to read the code and then do a mental join of the framework's conventions to know what it'll return.

Nope! They just return standard JavaScript.

A typical worker looks something like this:

    export default {
        fetch({ request }) {
          return new Response('ok')
        } 
    }

DefineApp just wraps that initial entry point into something that allows us to run middleware, match the router, and render out the page or the response object.

Love that you're a fan! Remember... No magicians allowed here.
