Wasp (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp) has actually worked out quite well! It just crossed 10k stars on GitHub and is currently the fastest-growing full-stack framework for React & Node.js. It's being used in both startups and enterprises.
Although Wasp has its own DSL/compiler, the secret to its adoption is probably that it works with the existing stack, like React & Node.js. From the developer's perspective, it feels like a framework; the "compiler" part is just what gives it its superpowers.
- verdverm 2y agoYou work for Wasp, so we'll take it with a grain of salt. I have never seen Wasp used in the wild, because of the aforementioned limitations - bespoke language - stack chosen for you What Wasp provides would be better addressed as a library. Also, NextJS is the fastest growing, fullstack framework for React, largely because of the superior DX --- an example of where Wasp has bad DX / DSL edge cases > {=psl psl=} tags for database schema You're weaving multiple DSLs together, which compounds the problem. https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/tutorial/entities https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/tutorial/entities
