I used some WinDev and WebDev at my last job. The tool isn't that bad, it's nice to have everything that just works from my IDE. On the other hand, I'm not a huge fan at all of using closed-source software. I also don't like using products for which the marketing is putting semi-nude women everywhere. Some people complained about that marketing aspect (https://www.jdp-pub.org/avis/windev-catalogue/) and they toned it down, so what's in that link is actually tame compared to what they did before.
Polkadot is a pretty interesting cryptocurrency. Like Ethereum smart chain, Binance smart chain, and Kucoin Smart chain, other cryptocurrencies can be built upon it’s network. A list of existing coins can be reviewed here although many of these cryptocurrencies/tokens are on multiple networks:

I think Reef started out as Polkadot only, IIRC.
When auditing smartchain coins, I find it best to answer the following two questions: 1) are the applications or coins people are developing on it good? And 2) Is my own smart contract development on it likely to be a good experience?
If you own Polkadot, you can and should be staking it somewhere for 12-16% annual interest.
the questions you need to ask yourself when dealing with any chain related questions is "what part of the blockchain trilemma does this chain sacrifice"
That question is why ethereum and bitcoin are the dominant chains, and nothing else ever takes off

Common saying amongst Dutch investors.
p.s. even if they have a beautiful brochure, they still have the name “polkadot”.

RAD is a strange market though, tools are real, and customers make real business apps with it
The marketing is usually very .. unusual

> Polkadot development is on track to deliver the most robust platform for security, scalability and innovation.
This is absolutely meaningless. I absolutely hate these kinds of websites that doesn't just say what the fuck the thing is.
Even in the PDF, they don't spell it out until Page 4.
...THIS IS BLOCKCHIAN...
Cool. I'm out!
