Heh.
Ever run into something and not know just what to make of it?
Yesterday, that happened to me.
The gentleman who introduced me to "yes, you, YOU can make a blockchain if you'd like to", (and showed me how to make a super simple one way back when), Jae Kwon, just released a new body of work called Gno.
Its license seems downright prescient, given some of the issues that we have had here at Blurt:
https://github.com/gnolang/gno/blob/master/LICENSE.md
See how it deftly gets around the whole "lets add private API dependencies to the open source work" issue?
Brilliant.
Folks may wish to check it out.
For me, I still have no idea what it does just yet-- not totally true, I have some guesses, but I'll need to toy with it some.
I mean, imagine that you could write Go, and have your chain execute that Go, with a boundary called a realm.
Haven't figured out if a realm
is a chain or not just yet.
Seems the license lays claim to putting this in a public chain first.
First thing ever said to me about this?
Stay true to the language
I'll be watching, and I hope that you will, as well. I'm rather sure that cosmos
is really just at the tip of its iceberg in terms of capabilities, and heh, Gno seems to explain a certain obsession with serialization, I think.
'course, fc
has some obsessive serialization, as well.
I probably won't get to try it out tonight, but encourage everyone to do so.
I will read up on it to see if there is any indication of what they want to do with it or if it is accessible to users. no promises.
I would say that at this stage is it is not accessible to users.
With that said, it is very exciting
Jae has stunning ideas.
I'll read through several times, that's what I needed to do to even have a clue about Tendermint, at first.
This post is woefully inadequate.
I will improve it over time.
