How did you get the name "Wasp"?
I'm intrigued! Wasp seems intriguing. Like, we have Deno, Node, Bun, Astro, Next, Nuxt, Svelte, etc. What does Wasp stand for or originate from? I'd love to learn

Hi @Cam Pak. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Wohooo @Cam Pak, you just became a Waspeteer level 1!

I don't see any information in the provided knowledge sources about the origin of the name "Wasp" or what it might stand for. The documents contain information about Wasp as a framework/DSL for building web applications, its features, vision, and technical details, but none of them explain the etymology or reasoning behind the name itself.
Wasp is described as a Rails-like framework for React, Node.js, and Prisma that allows developers to build full-stack web applications with less code. It's a domain-specific language (DSL) that focuses on connecting all parts of the stack (client, server, database, deployment) together.
If you're interested in learning more about Wasp itself, I'd be happy to share information about its features, how it works, or how to get started with it based on the knowledge sources provided.

Sorry @Cam Pak, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?
The original name came from shortening Web Application Specification in the early alpha stage :wizardboi:
@Cam Pak GitHub repository has following: "Wasp (Web Application Specification) is a Rails-like framework for React, Node.js, and Prisma."
Of course I am not sure how they got to that
oh, Milica answered already, it didn't load for me :milicaboi:
It was Martin's idea
I think there was something else before that, but it sounded awful :laughboi:
It was STIC - Specification To Implemention Compiler 😂 and the logo was a stick
this could've been the logo for STIC haha
What do you think @Cam Pak? Got a better name for us? :boifather2:
I guess he wants you to STICK to wasp
We do need a masked DJ for Wasp to go even more viral
Haha I like it. 🙂
