Not really no, and I'm actually not using express, but I'm using express syntax in order to be very familiar to developers, but I'm not locked into it.

If there is something with clear advantages, I might be able to integrate it.

Also you generally want to get all those available queries to be typed to frontend a la tRpc or Elysia Eden and that requires you to either combine routes (which means you have to chain all your route definition ) or have a definition file with all the routes (a la openapi.d.ts)

I use Express because switching to whatever esle would require a complete rewrite

Node with Express is not Bun where you can just use router from one library inside a router of another library and it'll just work (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

@cowboyd so what you do need this for anyways?

I'm writing a structurally concurrent web server using Effection https://github.com/thefrontside/revolution/ (very alpha at the moment).There are a lot of use-cases for typed routes in it, but my current one is that I need to generate a sitemap.xml, and so each route that extends the sitemap needs to "generate" a set of parameters that will in turn "generate" a set of static paths corresponding to those parameters. I'd like to strongy type that generation. In effect say "you need to give me a list of entries that have this shape, and I'll plug them back into the path pattern" to create a list of paths

Check Elysia and maybe Hono

I can help with type implementation but first you need to make all the UX choices
Make an app in Elysia and see if it's fine or you want to change something

Thanks so much for your time. This was really helpful.
