Solution
Scala compiler plugin to compile Scala to Untyped Plutus Core, similar to PlutusTx.
Benefits:
- more devs
- huge JVM ecosystem
- compiles to JavaScript via Scala.js
- better DX: debugger, great IDE support
Problem
Writing DApps in Haskell has some drawbacks:
- hard to hire talent
- slow compilation
- no debugger
- poor IDE support
- can’t compile to JavaScript, because GHCJS barely ever works, producing huge JS sources
