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
“Too expensive for what it offers. Plenty of open-source alternatives.”
“Define auth, routes, and background jobs in a simple DSL. The generated React + Node.js code is clean and customizable.”
“Solid execution. Does what it promises and the DX is clean.”
“The DSL approach reduces boilerplate dramatically. Auth setup in 3 lines instead of hundreds is genuinely valuable.”
“Interesting concept but the execution isn't there yet. Give it 6 months.”
“Configuration-first full-stack frameworks will become more popular as AI code generation improves.”
