The article introduces http4s-stir, a library designed to bridge the gap between Pekko HTTP (Akka HTTP) and http4s. It offers Pekko HTTP-style (Akka HTTP-style) DSL directives for http4s using cats-effect's IO as an effect system. The library aims to provide a hybrid solution for developers who either adore http4s but detest Pekko's (or Akka's) DSL, or vice versa. About 85% of all directives have been ported, with some modifications to fit http4s' architecture. The article also mentions a compatibility layer, Http4sDirectives, for http4s-dsl routes. The library is currently in preview and welcomes contributions and feedback from the community.
