Title: Universal smart contract programming language, like Terraform for the cloud
Post by: paulrberg on May 09, 2018, 04:23:01 PM
Hi all,

Context: a team of ambitious cyberpunk entrepreneurs backed by Entrepreneur First (https://joinef.com). I and my colleague are doing some light research on SC (smart contracts).

We have identified a series of problems in the current crypto-dev world:

• There are many backward-incompatible updates (cough-cough solidity)
• Because of hypergrowth, core protocol devs aren't necessarily focused on creating a simple UX for devs (ie: see Terraform vs AWS)
• There are so many different SC platforms popping up, specific businesses and partners want to implement them, thus enforcing devs to read new docs every other week

To solve this, we are thinking to create a "write your SC once, deploy everywhere" tool. You could also call it Infrastructure-as-Code. We're simply curious if this is something you'd like to have, and if that's so please give me a shout at hello@paulrberg.com.

Cheers,
Paul
