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
“Server Components, streaming, and the App Router represent the future of React. The Vercel deployment experience is unmatched.”
“Define auth, routes, and background jobs in a simple DSL. The generated React + Node.js code is clean and customizable.”
“Some complexity with the App Router learning curve, but it's the most complete full-stack React framework.”
“The DSL approach reduces boilerplate dramatically. Auth setup in 3 lines instead of hundreds is genuinely valuable.”
“Next.js defines how modern web apps are built. Server Components and AI SDK integration make it the platform for AI web apps.”
“Configuration-first full-stack frameworks will become more popular as AI code generation improves.”
