> From what I can tell, the underlying issue is that everything is spaghetti code written in a dynamically typed language.

We need to re-write this in Rust before there can be universal acceptance!

Already done and it’s already processed more transactions than ethereum and bitcoin have in their entire history combined, as well as having more developers.

As much as I like rust and think this would help increase acceptance for many tech affine people, this issue was a bad design decision, which is even worse. I don't think I will touch anything crypto until I can trust that the system is designed well.

You can code in whatever can compile to byte code for the EVM. Solidity is typically the language and is statically typed. https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/v0.8.11/types.html

I believe most contracts on the Solana network are written in Rust
