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
“3x faster installs, strict dependency resolution, and disk space savings. The best JavaScript package manager.”
“Define auth, routes, and background jobs in a simple DSL. The generated React + Node.js code is clean and customizable.”
“Strictly better than npm in every measurable way. The strict node_modules prevents dependency bugs.”
“The DSL approach reduces boilerplate dramatically. Auth setup in 3 lines instead of hundreds is genuinely valuable.”
“pnpm's content-addressable store is the right architecture. Bun's speed will push it further.”
“Configuration-first full-stack frameworks will become more popular as AI code generation improves.”
