Could you build this?
No Javalin is a mature, high-performance JVM web framework built on raw Jetty with years of edge-case handling, threading models, and API design.
What it would actually take: Building an industrial-grade JVM web framework requires deep systems knowledge of Jetty's internal lifecycle, NIO servlet handling, virtual threads (Project Loom), and zero-overhead routing. The engineering challenge is maintaining strict backward compatibility, high throughput, and memory efficiency across Java and Kotlin without reflection or annotations.
