Describe the feature you'd like

Feature Requested : Haskell Plutus Playground - which is better than Ethereum Remix and better than Solana Playground

I understand the reason for closing the issue(#6432) . Previous communication and insights are here

I am opening a new issue extending the previous insights because the underlying problem was not solved and is affecting new haskell plutus developers and haskell plutus student developers, negatively.

First let me thank those who communicated positively on this issue of "Haskell Plutus Playground".

Problem with Haskell Plutus

Haskell Plutus - a Cardano mature and secure smart contract development language 'Plutus Playground' does not exist now

Possible Solution:

Kuber IDE - 'PreSetup Environment for writing and trying out plutus contracts and cardano transactions' (https://kuberide.com/)

  1. improves on PAB and on the non-existent Plutus Playground.
  2. Good it is open source
  3. I like it it compiles plutus haskell validators to cbor
  4. Has a declarative offchain transaction building feature
  5. Has 9 basic working example haskell plutus templates

But - it is introducing subscription model and this may exclude others like demeter.run free on which users run out of credits and then have to move up. A playground similar or better than Ethereum Remix (https://remix.ethereum.org/) is and will be highly appreciated.

Why this is essential

  • Cardano now, has many developer experience, educational and many students and new developers e.g. Coxygen Global in partnership with EBU are onboarding many universities and colleges(459+ Haskell Plutus Students as of late: https://coxygen.co/universities/enrolled-students.php)

Unfortunately they are always bumping and crashing upon this broken and defunt tool

  • Cardano will compete head on with Ethereum Remix simple and popular service

Describe alternatives you've considered

My Effort with regards this : Requesting collaboration with those technically advanced in this field

I have tried github spaces with plinth-template : faced CPU & RAM and proved worse than demeter.run

Calling on all those technically capable and interested in this to work with us on Fund 14 : https://coxygenrpad.xyz/

If we fail with catalyst then we will try this https://www.intersectmbo.org/news/the-paid-open-source-model

There is another possible small funding : Ambassador Programme. We will find a way. Let's not only be problem flaggers but also problem solvers.

DISCLAIMER:

Bernard Sibanda is CTO of Coxygen Global, which proposed Catalyst rPAD(Pheidippedes). He is bringing this not as a Catalyst compaign but an ongoing developer experience improvement effort which spans way back from first Plutus Pioneer Program, all the way to being an intersect developer advocate( cohort #1) and lately now Cardano Ambassador. In short, the call is clear: We need the Plutus Playground!
