On: Tell HN: Node.js koa-router package transferred to unknown user

Now that you can trivially use async functions as express handlers, what are the major benefits of transitioning to Koa?

[Sytten → bearmcbearsly]

None to be honest. I migrated my projects back to express. Most of the packages for koa are either unmaintained or not very active.

I regularly use async functions as handlers in Express, but I always include a try ... catch block inside each one. What's the trivial way to use them?

Turn-key ready http2 which is significantly faster.
