the amount of bullying that eth is getting is insane lol

what are your thoughts about it? did you start learning rust already?

Increasingly convinced that its worth it to learn rust

1.) to my knowledge (please correct if wrong) - its very easy to wrap  python and/or typescript around rust code. This is great for developer libraries that want to support as many developers as possible. This isn’t including the speed benefits

2.) if you learn rust you can also write solana contracts

Agreed - seeing what shakes out as effective with WASM as the distribution package, and what's just noise ("distinction without difference"), has been interesting over the last few years since it landed as an official part of the standard.

Re-doing the core "web" aspects, stuff prior done in JS, bundled into Rust → WASM seems pretty clearly now as a wrong investment to make.  

But deep and difficult libraries of functionality (particularly if they need to be surfaced in many other environments, not just the web, say the native mobile for example) I think remains compelling.

For me at the moment, that's Automerge (CRDT)...but also just in the last month the new stuff coming out from @cassie around Quilibrium has at it's core a WASM bundle, which is exciting.

WASM is great, but not the golden hammer I wish it be.
