austral VS wasp

> But these days folks are mostly used to the C style syntax.

Mostly, but I'm told the new Austral[1] language has syntax very similar to that of Pascal's.

For the first couple of items on the list, Austral might be a language worth considering:

https://austral-lang.org

It's new so it obviously doesn't have the community of libraries to use, but it does have a very friendly and accessible Pascal-like syntax, while also having a state of the art linear type system.

For something more new look at Austral.

https://austral-lang.org has linear types and doesn’t use RAII but it doesn’t have defer.

there are other languages simpler than rust which have similar functionality to the borrow checker. see e.g. https://austral-lang.org/

Exactly. Wasp, https://wasp-lang.dev, is the only framework in the React/Node/Prisma space that's taking this opinionated approach to full-stack development.

For example, you get full-stack auth by just adding this to your config file:

`auth.methods: { email: {}, google: {} }`

Then you on-the-fly Auth UI components and all the necessary hooks

If you already have some sort of foundation in programming, use AI and some great abstractions/frameworks to get things done even faster. For example, instead of creating everything from the ground up (and probably suffering on little things along the way) you can skip repeating yourself a ton of times by using Wasp, which is a great React/Node full-stack framework that takes care of managing the boilerplate side of programming for you. 🤯

Aider is one of my favorite AI agents, especially because it can work with existing codebases. We've seen a lot of good results from folks who used it with Wasp (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp) - a full-stack web framework I'm working on.

For those who want the tool to have full control over their stack simply and easily, look no further! Wasp is an opinionated full-stack framework that leverages its compiler for a fast and easy way to create a database, backend, and frontend for your app. It uses React, Node.js, and Prisma, which are some of the most well-known tools that full-stack web developers are using.

Although our main product is Wasp, a full-stack framework on top of React & Node.js, here’s what we launched so far:

Yes, there is already a (good) SaaS template for Ruby on Rails called Bullet Train (https://bullettrain.co), so it might be helpful to distinguish yours as the JS-oriented option.

Your in good company, though, as your MVC framework of choice states that it is a "Rails-like" framework (https://wasp-lang.dev).
