Congrats for the promising project :)!
What is the main difference between dagger.io and Cicada ?
Thanks

We actually have a point on this on our website!
> Both Cicada and Dagger are CI engines that allows you to build pipelines in code. Cicada is focused entirely on TypeScript, while Dagger supports multiple different programming languages. By choosing TypeScript as Cicada's dedicated CI runtime, we are able to provide a more idiomatic SDK and support running TypeScript code directly in containers.
Dagger is a lot more focused on trying to stick to BuildKit and make CI/CD fit into that model, we took a more traditional looking approach where you define steps on a pipeline which should be more familiar to people who have written a CI/CD pipeline before.

Ok ! But could you explain in which way Cicada is a more idiomatic SDK ? And I'm not sure to understand the "support running TypeScript code directly in containers"...
