Wasp
ActiveConfiguration language for building enterprise web apps 10x faster
About
Wasp is a simple configuration language for building enterprise web apps with less code and best practices. If a developer wants to build an app like Instacart, they need to know a dozen different technologies and how to make them work together - Wasp solves this problem while still letting developers use React, Node.js and their other favourite tools. We will enable enterprises to build modern apps quickly at scale, like Databricks did for data management.

Launch
Get auth, CRUD, async workers and other common features via Wasp config language and write the rest of your logic in React, Node.js and Prisma
Wasp Beta introduces a full-stack framework for React and Node.js that uses a config language to define common features (auth, CRUD, async jobs) while coding the rest in React, Node.js, and Prisma. It targets developers building web apps and adds a language server, TypeScript support, Tailwind, running async jobs, optimistic updates, and beta features.
From the original launch (Dec 2022) — may be outdated.
