Hey all, we’ve made some more progress on Wasp lately and added a few bigger features (e.g. running async jobs/workers - https://wasp-lang.dev/blog/2022/06/15/jobs-feature-announcement) so wanted to share with the community here 🙂. Since we’re moving towards Beta and plan to release in a couple of months, we’d also appreciate your feedback - we’re running a small Alpha Testing Program (takes ~45mins + we tried to make it fun :D) and would be thrilled to get your thoughts and ideas on how we can make Wasp better 🙂. You can find more details and apply here: https://wasp-lang.notion.site/Wasp-Alpha-Testing-Program-Admissions-dca25649d63849cb8dfc55881e4f6f82 Thanks a lot and honored to be a part of the community!

I've seen wasp before, cool to see you hear I'm working on something similar (DSL / declarative programming), but using CUE (https://cuelang.org) for the language and trying to be more general (any lang / tech, not specific to web apps) https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof

CUE looks really interesting, I’d love to dig deeper into it 🙂 Re Haskell - that is actually only under-the-hood, for the contributors building the compiler, the end-user only needs to know JS (React & Node.js) So re templates, you’d probably use React components for that

Thanks! ah sorry, just now got that you are building hof (starred it!) using CUE, thought you were behind CUE initially 🙂 About react vs Vue, for now we support only React, but the “big vision” for the future would be the support all the main UI libs/langs (Vue, React, Svelte, …) For DB layer we are using Prisma (https://www.prisma.io/), so their SDK is used for forming queries.

These are just examples, the point is that customization is almost always required for "low-code" created applications. One place for that in template driven code generation is the templates themselves. Mostly wondering if that can be done with Wasp? It was an important design consideration for

hof

, more so that the templates be external to the tool.
