Wasp uses a simple DSL to define full-stack web apps — routes, auth, background jobs, email. Compiles to React + Node.js + Prisma. Configuration over code.
Reviewer scorecard
“This is my daily driver. The codebase awareness is unreal — it understands project structure, conventions, and dependencies without being told. Multi-file refactors just work.”
“Define auth, routes, and background jobs in a simple DSL. The generated React + Node.js code is clean and customizable.”
“Rate limits are the only downside. When it's running smoothly, it's the best coding assistant available. When you hit limits, you're stuck waiting. Plan for that.”
“The DSL approach reduces boilerplate dramatically. Auth setup in 3 lines instead of hundreds is genuinely valuable.”
“The terminal-first approach was the right call. Developers live in their terminal. This isn't an IDE plugin — it's an AI-native development environment.”
“Configuration-first full-stack frameworks will become more popular as AI code generation improves.”
