Flue is a TypeScript framework for building the next generation of agents

Vibe coding aside [1], it's very interesting software projects these days don't really care about adding a single test [2].

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

axpy906•about 2 hours ago

Yeah don’t understand. It’s a lot easier to just build your own.

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

The new JavaScript web frameworks are agent frameworks

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.

How would that actually work? Eventually the specification for the CPU has to be clear. For now, that means machine code.

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

Why would I choose this over Mastra? [0]

Why would I choose mastra over anthropic or cursor sdk ?

sexylinux•about 1 hour ago

why not pi.dev?

Flue is built on top of pi.

How does this differ to Mastra?

esprehn•about 1 hour ago

One big difference seems to be Mastra has tests and this project doesn't.

bigethan•about 2 hours ago

Mastra is a business, this seems to be a helpful lib

    import { getVirtualSandbox } from '@flue/sdk/cloudflare';

You lost me there. Looked kind of cool too.

jadar•about 1 hour ago

What was offensive? Was it the use of Cloudflare? Or the way the import was written?

If only there were great backend languages

Go, C#, what have you.

Nah, thank god we have javascript

Kotlin and Scala too if you want the same type of strong type system as TypeScript

Lipstick on Java with vendor lock in or another lipstick on Java made by and for academics, tough choice.

jdw64•about 2 hours ago

Not mentioning Java means we are already on the same wavelength.

I love C# too.

One is stuck in 80s and another doesn’t even have official open source debugger, are you serious?

pikedev•34 minutes ago

C# is still getting yearly updates and is a joy to work with really.
