Wasp-Lang: Boilerplate Code with Matija Sosic

Aug 5, 2021 by SED

The term “boilerplate code” refers to code sections that are repeated across many projects with little to no variation. Every developer is familiar with boilerplate code, whether it be pom.xml files in Java or setting up React.js applications, tweaking boilerplate code for every project is inevitable.

Actually, the company Wasp believes writing boilerplate code doesn’t have to be a part of web app development. Wasp is an open-source, declarative DSL for developers who want modern frontend, backend, and deployment experiences without writing boilerplate code. With Wasp, you can describe high-level features with Wasp DSL and write the rest of your logic in React, Node.js, and Prisma.

In this episode, we talk to Matija Sosic, CEO and Co-Founder at Wasp.

Yare.io
Yare.io is a new real-time strategy game where you control your units by writing real JavaScript code. If you have ever played games like Starcraft or Age of Empires, then you know what this is about. Except that instead of using the mouse to click around and guide your army, you do it with code. There are many ways to approach this game. From creating a fully autonomous AI that plays without any guidance, to actually live-coding the behaviour, or writing several functions before the game and triggering them at the right time depending on your opponent’s actions. Yare.io is super easy to learn, but very difficult to master.
