I like opinionated boilerplates. I can adapt to working in different ways. Having someone else decide a reasonable architecture is something I don't mind at all.

Opinionated enough that you have to learn their bespoke language WASP

Wasp is as easy as learning to write JSON when you already know JS.

Doing JS and JSON for many years. But react based frameworks are still are mystery for me and break everything I love about HTTP and HTML.

Calling it as easy as JSON for JS dev sounds a bit stretched. For a react Dev maybe.

They problem is in the translation and control. There's also extra tooling and steps in the build process to be maintained.

Part of what makes React's JSX so nice is that it's based on familiar things, HTML and JS. Like, regular HTML <div> etc works the same there.

I agree, JSX (and also MDX) are a really great paradigm

Wasp generates code. It's a bit odd how even with such a big layer of indirection, you only have one choice of backend language. Though I'm personally happy with JS and want to give this a try.

Wasp is actually being developed with a vision of being stack agnostic. Currently, it's only React/Node, but we've already been playing with Python and Rust internally.
