We’re in a time of rapid innovation around full stack web frameworks. The best part is that many of the newer tools are taking fundamentally different approaches than in the past. Wasp is a new Rails-like framework for React, Node.js and Prisma that takes a unique approach than other frameworks. In this talk, Wasp’s CEO, Matija Sosic, explains what Wasp is, how it works and why they built it by creating a Domain-Specific Language (DSL).

With all the web framework options available in popular programming languages today, why would anyone want to create a new Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for building full-stack web apps? In this talk, we will cover our rationale for deciding to do so, why DSLs are a compelling option, their pros and cons, and what it has enabled us to build for full-stack JavaScript devs so far.
