Gno.land is a very interesting competitor in this space. After Cosmos & the original Tendermint (now Ignite), a simpler Tendermint is in need to be able to onboard developers easily.
One of the hardest painpoint when onboarding new dev & projects onto a new ecosystem is always the technology and programming language complexity.

Here come’s Gno.land new language: Gnolang.

I have always been a big fan of Golang and this Gnolang is definitely one of my most anticipated things in crypto tech. Full source code transparency (no more compiled bytecode hell, yay!) and also go-routine like multi-threading (is this even real!?!??!) are gonna take over solidity (which is very java & js like).

Gnoland is a blockchain L1 project started in 2020 by Jae Kwon, co-founder of Cosmos and Tendermint. Its goal is to create a decentralized, secure and scalable smart contract platform for people to create important applications, especially against censorship.

Gnoland is created from a Tendermint fork, which is called New Tendermint. It also comes with Gno Lang, an interpreted golang-like language to write Realms (Smart Contracts on Gno).

Offering good tech, free for everyone and making it a mission for this technology [...] to create good software that is scalable, secure and simple and intuitive. _ Jae Kwon (cryptocito interview)

This project started with a fork of Tendermint, which you can find here. Jae Kwon is now CEO of NewTendermint Inc. which takes the name from the former Tendermint project, now called Ignite.

The goal of New Tendermint is to create a simpler version of the Tendermint framework, and use Gno as the toolbox for new Cosmos projects.

This is still early stage and we should expect a lot of new communication in the future.

Gnolang is the language used to write Smart Contracts, called Realms, on Gnoland. You can see it as an interpreted version of Golang: developers upload their realm sources on-chain and the GnoVM executes its AST interpretation.

This way Gnoland pushes for full transparency, because it forces developers to push their sources, and not compiled bytecode.

Gnolang will also introduce multi-threading in smart contract development (like go routines and channels).
