tealang VS kotal

The Algorand Foundation has a grant for developer tools if you are interested in making tools. https://github.com/pzbitskiy/tealang maybe could use some help (although in the past the development has sometimes been stalled).

Jason W: @Orageux101 I am not in the research team but from my point of view: When smart contracts were first launched we supported a very limited set of opcodes. This was mainly for performance reasons. There would have been no way we could have supported full solidity. Since then that list of opcodes has grown and we made TEAL (not the AVM) turing complete. This was possible because we have also been improving our performance (which is still ongoing). Because TEAL is basically an assembler language we thought anyone could create an interpreter to it if they desired. In fact we built PyTeal to do just that. The team is also actively updating https://github.com/pzbitskiy/tealang to write contracts in JavaScript as well. Our layer 2 contracts will also use Clarity->TEAL. With the next release we will also get the ability to create payment and asset xfer transactions in the AVM similar to way you can do in Solidity contracts. After that i could easily see some converters being built.

we're developing a Kubernetes operator https://github.com/kotalco/kotal and we're testing it on 1.19 to 1.25 k8s clusters using KinD, by creating cluster, testing, then tearing it down.
