Support for Cosmos SDK Stargate in CosmJS has been ongoing work for several months now. Stargate is released and CosmJS is here to connect to it.

Starting points

Let's explore what is new for Stargate support:

@cosmjs/proto-signing, which implements the new SIGN_MODE_DIRECT based on protobuf serializations
@cosmjs/stargate, which provides a high level client for querying, signing and broadcasting
@cosmjs/cosmwasm-stargate for interacting with CosmWasm smart contracts on Stargate chains

Motivation

tl;dr I want to use Rust to program robots. Help me find the best core libraries to build on.

Robotic systems require high performance and reliability, but also have enormous complexity in terms of algorithms employed, number of subsystems, embedded hardware control, and other metrics. Development is mostly split between C++ for performance and safety critical components, and MatLab or Python for quick research or task iteration.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
