I recently came across Garuda ([https://github.com/grepjava/garuda](https://github.com/grepjava/garuda)), a new Swift web framework with some impressive performance claims. According to the repo's benchmarks, it's roughly 3.6x faster than Vapor and 2.8x faster than Hummingbird, running almost on par with Rust's Axum.

Has anyone had a chance to try using it yet?

Looks like slop. Complete with slop artwork.

Be happy to be proved wrong, but yuck.
