One of the most common sources of bugs in web applications is improper handling of user input. Traditional frameworks often leave validation as an afterthought, resulting in runtime errors that could have been caught earlier. Snitch takes a different approach, making validation a first-class concern with compile-time safety.
In the world of software development, there's a persistent myth that we must choose between code that is pleasant to write and code that scales well technically. Many believe that as systems grow, elegance must give way to verbosity, and expressivity must be sacrificed for safety and performance.
Snitch challenges this false dichotomy by combining the best of both worlds: an incredibly expressive DSL with the rigorous type safety of Kotlin. Let's explore why expressivity matters at scale, and how Snitch pushes the boundaries of what's possible.
