Despite everyone hating on the AI slop (I myself hate AI slop), I am excited about cap'n web and am jonesing to try it out in rust so I will take a look!

I'd love to see (might try to add on) an optional type layer: define contracts as json schema or JTD or something? Does something like this already exist - maybe you could use protobufs ontop of this? Would be nice to make it so that you didn't need to share types between client / server out of band, something like an openapi spec allows all clients (not just those you are in control of) to have types!

To be honest, I don't really understand the point of Cap'n Web.. it's a slightly better JSON-RPC I guess?

I'm a fan of Cap'n Proto, but I don't understand how Cap'n Web is in any way related to it nor what makes it a big deal.

The selling point is promise pipelining, being able to do many chained operations with a single api call

This includes the freaky way they found to make this work with map

		OP here, and yes, the chained operations are excellent. Having built this, and now using it some pet projects, that is the part I'm finding valuable.
