Nice work! I'm also a fan of the runtime only frameworks. They might not be as efficient as the compiled counterparts on paper, but in my experience the performance loss is almost negligible compared to the rest of the stack.

Shameless plug to my own runtime (and compile) micro framework: https://github.com/fresho-dev/mancha

Thanks! Totally agree — in most real-world apps the “runtime overhead” ends up dwarfed by everything else in the stack, so the build-free ergonomics can be a bigger win.

And nice, Mancha looks cool — I’ll give it a read and star. It looks similar with dagger in some features, for instance, mancha uses :data to create scope while dagger uses +load directive. Always great to see other takes on the runtime/compile spectrum; I think having multiple approaches out there is healthy for the ecosystem!
