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

“Define auth, routes, and background jobs in a simple DSL. The generated React + Node.js code is clean and customizable.”
“The DX is genuinely excellent. If your app needs real-time, Convex eliminates an enormous amount of complexity.”
“The DSL approach reduces boilerplate dramatically. Auth setup in 3 lines instead of hundreds is genuinely valuable.”
