My take on the JS clients in Solana (long post) I think web3 JS was discarded too quickly. The package size was not that bad and we could have upgraded in place the problematic stuff. However that ship has sailed and we need to move on. Moving on to Kit, it is not a web3.js replacement simply because it's too verbose. This is not a problem on it's own! It's well written small and powerful. I don't think it makes sense for most app builders to consume it directly in their applications. This leaves us to today. We have a gill, wallet-ui, wallet-standard that can act as a solid stack for javascript applications on Solana. But we need to graduate them into a full stack properly. We do this by: - building templates - building examples - evolving the libraries with more helpers - Doubling down on documentation and quickly We have a fast chain, we need to foster and cherish our libraries that allow us to make equally fast applications. It's not ready yet but we are so close!
