    Helios is a DSL for writing Cardano smart contracts. This library lets you compile Helios scripts and build Cardano transactions. (by HeliosLang)

    One of the most exciting projects imo is Helios. If Cardano is to compete with other smart blockchains, we must move away from Haskell. I consider Plutus (Tx) being Haskell-based to be a serious design flaw of Cardano's developer experience. Plutus itself is inefficient and poorly thought out. Plutarch is much more well designed, even though it's still Haskell based.
