TIL people still fall for eh I mean use Langchain. Sorry, low value comment; I don’t know how to do that differently; it is such bad garbage since day one and strangely it did not improve. Sorry anyway for the comment, at least it was not LLM generated?

To make your comment more high value, could you explain why you think langchain is bad?

I have a hard time keeping up with the space. Is langchain old news? Is there a page that kind of shows what the status quo for tooling is?

There's like 1000 langchain alternatives and none are good, they're all vibe-coded unstable projects.

I use Apache Burr but it's not as good as LangChain. I just don't want to use software whose website has a pricing page if it's not a SAAS.

Yes, I also thought it's crap the moment I saw they need langchain to develop a harness.

Instead of spending half the comment reflecting on your post why not point out what you don’t like about it or some better alternatives?
