Wasp-lang (Beta) - Develop web apps in React & Node.js with no boilerplate

Wasp is the fastest way to develop full-stack web apps in React & Node.js. Describe high-level features (auth, CRUD, async jobs, …) via a simple config language, and write the rest of your logic in React, Node.js and Prisma.

A lot of hard work is represented here, nice job all! And we are lucky to have such a growing, smart, kind, and fun community to engage with daily. Cheers to Beta, and on to the next milestone! We can't wait to see what you will build.

If it weren't for Wasp, my app Amicus would probably have never been finished. I estimate it saved me 100+ hours from the start and I'm still amazed that I did all this work as a team-of-one. Being able to quickly change existing features and add the new ones is the biggest advantage of Wasp for me. Wasp is my favorite producthunt find!

@erlis_kllogjri Thanks so much for sharing, this is a super motivating to hear for us! :)
Vedran Rasic
Neat! Checked this via Sasha Krsmanovic's recommendation. My startup leaddelta.com is built using React/Node, and I'll share this with my team. Thanks for shipping. 🔥

What a nice surprise! Typescript support sounds like a real step up 💪
Martin Šošić
@mihovil_ilakovac Thanks! We still have some way to go to get it to 100%, but already it is a big improvement indeed :)!

Very cool, congrats on the launch. Wish I had wasp when I was trying to figure out how to build a web app from scratch 😅 Keep up the great work!

Wow Beta is here! Really excited to see this launch. I have been following for quite some time and I'm really excited Wasp progressing so well! I know it's probably way down the priority list, but are you planning to add support for multiple backends? I've figured I've built many small apps in backend and frontend is always super ugly because I don't bother connecting React app to the the Flask app 🙈. Having something "works out of the box", but talks python in backend would be a great workflow.
Martin Šošić
@mario_kostelac that would be awesome indeed, and is a big part of our vision! In the short term, while rushing for 1.0, we will most likely stick to just 1 backend (NodeJS) in order to get that out and stable, but after that we will certainly start seriously looking into multiple backends. One intermediate solution is not having a full blown support for other languages, but supporting them as "jobs" (check Job in Wasp). Then the next step is fully supporting them, which will require more effort but is doable. I think most likely candidates are go and python. We might also look into ways to enable community to develop these backends on their own.

I love what Beta looks like and it's amazing to see all these new features! Wasp really looks like something that could make developers' lives a lot easier. Exciting times!

@emmanuelthecoder Thank you for your kind words and for all the contributions so far, we are happy to have you being part of the Wasp journey :)!

Congrats on the launch guys! Way to go & super excited to see where you will take wasp next 🚀

Wasp is a bit of a mindfuck when you’re used to coding web apps in a distinct front-end, back-end, infrastructure kind of way. It both abstracts away a lot, while still keeping you in control. It's another very promising new wrench in your toolbox. Use it wisely. The more I think about it, the more I feel it can have a great future. It sort of took over a week to really get how much I was able to achieve in just 30 minutes with it. Pretty mind-blowing! Keep going @matijash @martin_sosic, we need more tools like this in our lives. 👏
Martin Šošić
@matijash @attilavago Ha thanks Attila, loved your blog post about Wasp :)! It is a bit unusual approach we are taking, but we believe in it! Thanks for the support!
