Hello,
we looked at the EOS git and it seems like there is an api in JS for writing smart contracts. But I would like to hear answers from people with experience.
Is it possible to write a smart contract for EOS in js?

Answer 1

EOS smart contracts work on the basis of the WebAssembly stack virtual machine (WASM), which compiles high-level C/C++, Rust, Go, D languages, providing translation into binary code.
Accordingly, writing smart contracts for EOS is possible using these languages.
In practice, C++ is most often used, the official documentation on creating smart contracts on it is also available on the website for EOS developers: https://eosio.github.io/eosio.cdt/1.5.0/
I heard about writing in JS, translators were used, but there were quite a lot of errors and these are extremely crude solutions that I do not recommend.
