Show HN: Wasp – the first full-stack framework powered by an LLM

a year ago

Wasp is a full-stack, batteries-included web framework, likened to modern JS-based versions of Laravel, Django, or Ruby on Rails.
Wasp has surpassed 16,000 stars on GitHub and is used by thousands of developers in startups and enterprises.
The framework initially relied on a custom compiler supporting React, Node.js, and Prisma but is shifting to LLM-powered code generation.
AI will now handle decisions on UI, state management, and other libraries, eliminating debates over best practices.
The new approach introduces 'fluid' UI and stack, where each app deployment can differ slightly or significantly in features and implementation.
Benefits of the fluid approach include keeping the UI fresh and enhancing security through constant implementation changes.
Wasp is transitioning to an AI-first, prompt-based system, reducing the need for version control, specialized knowledge, and tedious code reviews.
Prompts allow new team members to contribute immediately by exploring the app's features rather than reading through code.
The Wasp team invites feedback on this significant shift towards AI and LLM-powered development via their Discord community.
