I agree with you! Yet, looking at Node, JS has sorta taken off. And so has Ethereum, despite the poorly designed languages. Maybe they should have done one proper language, then a toy language to make it easy onboarding?

In the end, the Ethereum folks have achieved wild financial success, even if not in the realm of making smart contracts usable. After seeing shitty coding make people independently wealthy many times over, I'm slow to be too harsh on poor technical decisions. Perhaps a more rigorous language would have deterred a few people that turned out to be key in making Eth take off?

OTOH, criticising poor technical skills of billionaires gives me one reason to feel superior to them, so I'll probably continue to do it.

Their wild financial success is based on scamming gullible people into investing in Ponzi schemes. not one ethereum based enterprise has actually produced a product that people are using.
