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
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“Define auth, routes, and background jobs in a simple DSL. The generated React + Node.js code is clean and customizable.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“The DSL approach reduces boilerplate dramatically. Auth setup in 3 lines instead of hundreds is genuinely valuable.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
“Configuration-first full-stack frameworks will become more popular as AI code generation improves.”
