Discussion on: Wasp - language for developing full-stack Javascript web apps with no boilerplate

Ideally, you should try to make this stuff pluggable, allowing "third party" devs to develop 'plugins' for those other languages or frameworks, WITHOUT having to touch the core of Wasp - which means you wouldn't need to do all of this work yourself ...

But, I understand that that's easier said than done - you may need to implement some of these yourself first, in order to gain an understanding on how a "plugin" system might work :)

That is exactly what we were envisioning! We imagined a plugin/module system where developers could themselves implement certain integrations & features. We could expose Wasp AST (data structure that emerges after the initial parsing) so they could modify and expand it.

It's still very high-level thinking, but we also described it in bit more details in this issue on Wasp repo: github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/227
