It really depends on what you’re looking for. Express still "works," and NestJS still "works," so if those fit your needs, there's no reason to switch.

But whether we need a new framework or not comes down to what problems you're trying to solve. Gland isn't trying to replace NestJS it’s taking a different, fully event-driven approach that makes code more modular and flexible. If that resonates with your project’s needs, then it’s worth considering. If not, sticking with what already works is totally fine.

This is the proper response. Even if it is the millionth JavaScript framework it is worth the attempt. At best it becomes something popular at worst you learned a lot about the problems that frameworks are trying to solve.

I agree. every new project is an opportunity to learn and grow, even if it's as simple as a basic calculator. For me, even if Gland doesn't become a huge success, the process of building it, the challenges I’ve faced, and the research I've conducted are incredibly valuable. Every experience, including failures, contributes to future successes as long as we learn from them.
