One of my favorite features is the fetch implementation. Since we use channels and threads for "async" work, we just bake that into the fetch global. This simple syntax is the result:

This syntax hot or not?
I'm contemplating using braces to begin and end, instead of having "end" - I think it might be more convenient, since IDEs tend to autocomplete after you type the opening brace.

Now that MCP is a thing, can we just standardize on that for code maintainers to opt-in to allowing AI to train/learn/reference/whatever on the latest docs in realtime?
Come up with some standard endpoints or tool names or however this works.

`await` expressions in your Svelte components can now be rendered on the server, meaning you don't need to render them inside boundaries with a `pending` snippet. Next up, streaming SSR!

xinkjs v1 releases are out! xinkjs.com
As always, xink is a Vite plugin that provides filesystem router DX for building typescript APIs.
It uses xin under the hood, which is a brand new API framework - think hono/elysia.
Then under all that is xi "z", a from-scratch URL trie router.

Based on my research, the xinkjs api framework is a unique thing and needs some company. A few others come close, but they're ssr-first not api-first.

The latest version of xink api router now supports creating a typed api client, using generators like @heyapi.dev
Sprinkle some schema on your endpoints, set an OpenAPI path, and generate the client.
