History comes to Gno today. “At first, there was Bitcoin, out of the entropy soup of the greater All. Then, there was Ethereum, which was created in the likeness of Bitcoin, but made Turing complete. Among these were Tendermint and Cosmos to engineer robust PoS and IBC. Then came Gno upon Cosmos and there spring forth Gnoland, simulated by the Gnomes of the Greater Resistance.”

Jae Kwon, the core contributor to the Cosmos and co-founder of Tendermint, has been designing a new blockchain called Gnoland with the goal of optimizing the consensus process between validators, the completeness of the smart contract language, and the sustainability of the tokenomics.

Gnoland adopts a new language called Gnolang, a fork of the Golang. A clear advantage of Golang compared to other languages is apparent when dealing with concurrency. While a majority of programming languages such as C++ or Java use multithreading for running concurrent programs, Go uses Goroutines.

Goroutine takes the burden off the OS by implementing Go Scheduler, a run-time native scheduler. Creation and destruction of Goroutines consume seemingly less memory (as little as 0.2% of threads) and fully utilizes all cores of the hardware.

So lucky that Jae Kwon is building Gnoland to introduce a performant blockchain that’s capable of running smart contracts that fully leverages the advantages of Golang and the advanced hardware of modern computers. Look forward to exploring ways to contribute to the development and adoption of Gnoland, a scalable blockchain that I believe will onboard millions of developers that will deploy innovative applications, accelerating the transition of the internet to Web3.
