This resonates with my experience building app DSLs. I've moved to CUE instead of a general purpose PL, to remain in the declarative space.

The fundamental issue that remains is abstraction. Low/no code is not what developers want. The rationale you use for Ai and your product is the same one developers use for not choosing products like yours. It takes developers too far from how things actually work. That pain manifests more after development time. So while you can show some nice stats for the basics, they ROI doesn't manifest in the long run. Hiring is also a pain for anything so little used, network effect and all that. Wasp has been around a long time, yet never taken off. This is something we consider when looking for broad tech stack changes that something like Wasp requires.
