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…

Wasp (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp) has actually worked out quite well! It just crossed 10k stars on GitHub and is currently the fastest-growing full-stack framework for React & Node.js. It's being used in both startups and enterprises. Although Wasp has its own DSL/compiler, the secret to its adoption is probably that it works with the existing stack, like React & Node.js. From the developer's perspective, it feels like a framework; the "compiler" part is just what gives it its superpowers.

I have no idea what other folks are doing to stabilize it. For me, I needed a ton (hundreds of thousands) of JS/TS(X) files parsed and ingested into other data pipelines and the segfaults were constant^. If you had a system where single files were only parsed on-demand via separate worker thread and the consequence of a segfault was the text appearing monotone, I'm sure you'd be alright. ^One example: https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/blob/main/waspc/data/Gener...
