Fe: next generation smart contract language for Ethereum

deploying smart contracts is the same as deploying an application to the cloud with api calls and variable storage

the closest I can think of is Firebase or AWS Lambda (or similar compute instance) with some kind of rudimentary database or shoehorned in variable storage. these all charge by number of executions, bandwidth and storage, even geographic location

smart contract deployments would be cheaper than that, via a one time cost for the developer, and have unlimited use

So my very first comment remains valid. No idea what you're objecting to.

for the level of computation actually occurring I would agree with you, but for the pricing I don't agree with you.

smart contracts are read for free and are read just as much as any api or application, whereas reading from my API that's doing nothing would still start charging me, the developer, and not be as cheap and using bare metal I have hosted somewhere or locally would have high maintenance or performance problems just reading and sending responses at the level necessary

writing is paid for by the consumers, but again here I agree that this level of activity would fit in the free tiers of cloud services
