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
“20x faster than Babel with full compatibility. Used by Next.js which validates production readiness.”
“Define auth, routes, and background jobs in a simple DSL. The generated React + Node.js code is clean and customizable.”
“Babel is effectively replaced. SWC's speed improvement is dramatic and the compatibility is excellent.”
“The DSL approach reduces boilerplate dramatically. Auth setup in 3 lines instead of hundreds is genuinely valuable.”
“SWC is the invisible engine powering modern JS tooling. Rust compilation speed enables new tool architectures.”
“Configuration-first full-stack frameworks will become more popular as AI code generation improves.”
