The largest increase in perf of Cardano in the past year has not come from changes to the protocol
It's come from projects deprecating Plutus Tx in favor of alternatives like Plutarch
Plutus Tx, PAB, etc. have been a Byron-level disaster and the sooner we deprecate the better
Beyond obvious like Vasil...
Next steps?
0. Documentation, documentation, documentation for dApp developers including (Plutarch!) @derjan @ChileStakepo @AcademyLovelace
1. Formal proves experimentation for dApps (@PgwadaS)
2. Lucid by @berry_ales hopefully gets production grade
I can't find many places where @SebastienGllmt praises Cardano tech. He's mostly known for complaining about Cardano's limitations and giving it to us real. Of course, it's probably why he built @Milkomeda_com, but he always seems disappointed in the tech. Concerning or good?
Good, honest opinions from those actually developing on Cardano are good to see. If there are issues, they should be called out and corrected. I don't think he'd be working on a project bridging to Cardano if he didn't have faith in the tech.
As a EVM developer i laugh at "Smart Contracts on Cardano" 😂😂 just one quick youtube search and you can't even find any quality tutorials
#Haskell is great, but it really needs better developer tooling. IMO that starts with a great package manager and IDE support. Improving on those fronts would catalyze a lot of development.
The #CardanoCommunity should rally around those causes.
Thanks yeah I'm on the IOG discord. I guess some developers have time to participate in a million Discord servers - I have way too many and IOG's one just disappears into the mix. I need a changelog, release notes, and official updates, published somewhere I'll actually see them
Here's the updated alternative Plutus frameworks table. Thanks for the feedback.
I'm sorry but 1-4MB client libs for using Cardano is insane. We need to do better. We need optimized clients.
Let me explain my flow of programming while developing SC on Cardano without having haskell knowledge :
🧵
It’s not marketing that’s holding Cardano back, the recent brand study shows that. Its the dev experience. Making Plutus smart contract easier to code and ramping up the num of devs is far more vital than marketing.
