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
“The most readable CLI for HTTP requests. Intuitive syntax that doesn't require remembering curl flags.”
“Define auth, routes, and background jobs in a simple DSL. The generated React + Node.js code is clean and customizable.”
“curl is powerful but HTTPie is readable. For quick API testing, the syntax difference matters.”
“The DSL approach reduces boilerplate dramatically. Auth setup in 3 lines instead of hundreds is genuinely valuable.”
“The desktop app is beautiful. Colorized output and JSON formatting make API responses easy to read.”
“Configuration-first full-stack frameworks will become more popular as AI code generation improves.”
