dipping my toes into solidity development

Is truffle/ganache the go to for local development and testing?

This is the right answer, best dev experience by far

Security at Optimism. Formerly built Umbra and more at ScopeLift

The foundry learning curve isn’t too bad, and you’ll learn solidity much faster by writing tests in it

Truffle isn’t widely used anymore, so def hardhat > truffle

There’s also Ape if you’re into writing tests in python. (Heard good thing, never used it though)

Is Hardhat > Truffle, if I had to pick one of those? 

I do want to write my tests in Typescript and it seems like Foundry could be a steeper learning curve for testing and deployment.
