Strengths

- •7MB binary size and <100MB RAM usage are genuinely competitive.
- •Cross-platform from single codebase with ARM64 and x86_64 support.
Weaknesses
- •MongoDB GUI category already has Compass, Studio 3T, and Robo 3T.
- •Perry is obscure—unclear long-term maintenance compared to Rust or Go.
