Is it fair to say developing for Solana is harder than for EVM?

yes, more confusing language, less documentation, less examples, less opinionated tooling options

For vibe coders, probably not.

Not a dev. But you mean RUST right?

On average yes but that’s because sol contracts are in rust and solidity ones are in what might as well be JavaScript or python depending on one’s preferred flavor so no for rust devs imo

far worse tooling, less mature ecosystem, way more complexity, EVM is easy and approachable and well documented

Tooling is way better on Ethereum. Not sure if that’s necessarily true for all EVM chains as well. Everyone saying something about “harder language” is just falling victim to familiarity bias.

Harder yes (language is a barrier; stuff changes pretty fast too); but you may be surprised by the developer support you get
