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
“Guaranteed valid JSON from LLMs — no retry loops needed. The FSM approach is mathematically elegant and reliable.”
“Define auth, routes, and background jobs in a simple DSL. The generated React + Node.js code is clean and customizable.”
“If you need structured outputs from open models, Outlines is the correct solution. Not a hack, but a proper constraint system.”
“The DSL approach reduces boilerplate dramatically. Auth setup in 3 lines instead of hundreds is genuinely valuable.”
“Constrained generation will be built into every inference engine. Outlines pioneered the approach.”
“Configuration-first full-stack frameworks will become more popular as AI code generation improves.”
