🐰 A rabbit hops through words with care,
Express-inspired, beyond compare!
"Inspired by" becomes so sleek,
Just two words make the prose unique.

Code Review

This pull request aims to fix a perceived hyphenation issue in the README.md file by changing 'inspired by Express' to 'Express-inspired'. However, the original phrasing was grammatically correct and arguably clearer. The proposed change introduces a slightly awkward sentence structure and removes intentional emphasis. My review includes a comment suggesting to revert this change to restore the original, more readable text.

Comment thread .github/README.md
New gophers that make the switch from [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/about/) to [Go](https://go.dev/doc/) are dealing with a learning curve before they can start building their web applications or microservices. Fiber, as a **web framework**, was created with the idea of **minimalism** and follows the **UNIX way**, so that new gophers can quickly enter the world of Go with a warm and trusted welcome.

Fiber is **inspired** by Express, the most popular web framework on the Internet. We combined the **ease** of Express and **raw performance** of Go. If you have ever implemented a web application in Node.js (_using Express or similar_), then many methods and principles will seem **very common** to you.

Thank you for your contribution. The original phrasing **inspired** by Express was grammatically correct and clear. The new phrasing 'Fiber is Express-inspired...' is less standard, as compound adjectives like 'Express-inspired' are typically used before a noun (e.g., 'an Express-inspired framework'). The original phrasing is more common and readable in this context. Furthermore, this change removes the bold formatting, which was likely intended for emphasis. For these reasons, reverting to the original text is recommended.

@23f2005050 The change is grammatically incorrect. The correct way in English is Fiber is **inspired** by Express
