Anybody here dabble in the cosmos ecosystem? Looking to hear opinion on this chain & its trade offs?

This caught my eye, (paraphrasing) JavaScript smart contracts supporting async/await and multi-block execution.

Looked at this two years ago and found the marketing around JS contracts being “easier” a bit misleading. They introduced some new and unintuitive concepts in the runtime that I found extremely confusing and unhelpful. Solidity is easier to read and write imo. For cosmos, personally a lot more bullish on cosmwasm

I remember that, PyTeal! I think teal / avm was just way too low level and restrictive for devs. No fancy wrapper was gonna make it comparable to writing solidity.  Do checkout Tealish though, it’s a newer and much more readable wrapper around teal / avm

Thanks for sharing that. Kinda reminds me of algorand’s marketing around a python implementation. Sounded GREAT until diving in.
