Wasp is a batteries-included, full-stack web framework that replaces its custom DSL with a TypeScript-native spec for defining app features. This makes the spec programmable and extensible, enabling novel patterns like file-based routing and reusable full-stack modules. It offers an opinionated, cohesive alternative to frameworks like Rails and Laravel for modern JS/TS stacks.

Target audience: full-stack developers, web developers, backend devs, frontend devs
