I think the marketing copy probably needs to focus on differentiating features vs any myriad of agent frameworks. I took one look at the sample and immediately said "This is literally just langgraph with a builder pattern"

I know claude code has a lot of that internally built in already, but it’s claude-only

#44First time I hear about Burr, curious why it was incubated in Apache.

#45I'm still on the fence about agent frameworks, they have their place, and it depends on the nature of the agent: e.g. "Low latency, return a good enough response in 3 seconds, vs. working for 3 hours on a problem." BUT, if you boil it down, an agent really is context building, making an LLM call, executing requested tool calls, parsing the final model output, returning it to some frontend. There's extensions like mem…

It’s painfully obvious that you can just open your coding harness and… tell it you’d like to make an agent. They’re simple to write.

#50I couldn't find an explicit reference for the naming, but for anyone wondering there is a Hamilton example: https://github.com/apache/burr/tree/main/examples/multi-agen...
Burr is named after Aaron Burr, founding father, third VP of the United States, and murderer/arch-nemesis of Alexander Hamilton. What's the connection with Hamilton? This is DAGWorks' second open-source library release after the Hamilton library We imagine a world in which Burr and Hamilton lived in harmony and saw through their differences to better the union. We originally built Burr as a harness to handle state be…
