Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Langroid | tRPC-Agent-Go | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 7.0 | 7.3 | tRPC-Agent-Go — Pick tRPC-Agent-Go if you want a Go framework that will still be maintained next year; pick a smaller library if you only need a loop and some tools. |
| El Crítico | 6.5 | 6.0 | Langroid — Message exchange between tasks is hierarchical and recursive, and nothing documented bounds the depth, so a misbehaving delegation can spend money quietly. |
| El Profesor | 7.5 | 5.5 | Langroid — The orchestration model is actor-inspired and stated as such: entities with private state exchanging messages, which is a well-studied concurrency model rather than a novel one. |
| La Inversora | 6.3 | 6.8 | tRPC-Agent-Go — 1,763 stars and a large technology company's platform group as the publisher: strategic open source, which needs no revenue and can be cancelled without one. |
| La Jefa | 5.5 | 7.0 | tRPC-Agent-Go — Nothing to license for sixty engineers, and production observability is in the framework rather than bolted on, so agent services report through the stack we already run. |
| El Hacker | 8.0 | 7.8 | Langroid — MIT, one pip install, any agent can call MCP servers, and Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint means the weights sit wherever I put them. |
