Need to include developers who are not focussed on identity. Can't just be a small group of tech enthusiasts. We need a broad and widescale adoption.
steep learning curve
time and resource intensive
knowledge of standards and protocols is required
ssi space is continuously evolving
frameworks and apis not stable yet
What do we need:
familiarity - support for languages to ensure integrations work
easy api without having to dive into all the protocols or deep knowledge of ssi
docs are important
devs want to just get the job done without knowing every detail
extend functionality of an ssi framework
want a framework that gives e2e soln : not just a holder, verifier etc.
Aries Framework Javascript ecosystem:
hosts are maintainers
Why JS? JS is a popular language, lots of solns use it, runs on various envs
