Thanks @Gekctek, are you able to share a reference to that thread?
@marc0olo, is this something you’re able to comment on, in terms of DFINITY’s perspective and plans regarding Motoko usage?
Will DFINITY ever switch to using Motoko as the primary IC language rather than rust?
I think there are a lot of advantages to having a dedicated language that can be made to prioritise what the IC needs, and also make it easier to develop on the IC. At the moment I think many things are actually harder using Motoko, precisely because it’s not the well trodden path.
Things like orthogonal persistence, build reproducibility, maybe even the ability to compile source code to WASM on-chain (facilitating dapp-based CI pipelines, and automated canister hash verification), are things that could make Motoko the go-to language.
Until DFINITY takes that leap though, I’m not sure why they would expect the community to. I want to make more use of Motoko. but I don’t see it as the path of least resistance - though I really want to.
