Breaking into Blockchain Development with JavaScript
summary
Reach is a JavaScript‑syntax language plus compiler and deployment tool that claims to let JavaScript developers write one codebase and output contracts for Ethereum Algorand Conflux and soon Cosmos. Examples include a DEX pool at 274 lines instead of 2–3k — ~90% fewer lines — and rock‑paper‑scissors at 100 vs ~1,000 lines. Builds include automatic formal proofs during compilation. Project stats: founded Sep 2019, MVP Sep 2020, 4,000 developers and a dozen VC‑backed teams using it in production.
