The popularization of Layer 2 (Layer 2 network technology) technology for developers may be a solution to gas cost and scalability issues.

The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) has just released a survey report on the smart contract language, development tools, clients, and services used by enterprise-level Ethereum developers.
The survey results show that the developers using Solidity are the most, accounting for 87.4%, followed by Web3.js (71.8%), Truffle (69.2%), Javascript (66.7%), OpenZeppelin (59%), Infura (56.4%) , Remix (53.8%), IPFS (48.7%) and Java (43.6%).
These are the programming languages and development tools most commonly used by developers,
Solidity (87.4%): The smart contract programming language most commonly used by Ethereum ecosystem developers
Web3.js (71.8%): Ethereum Javascript API tool suite
Truffle (69.2%): Ethereum smart contract development tool
Javascript (66.7%): programming language
OpenZeppelin (59%): Provides a set of standard smart contracts
Infura (56.4%): API tools for developers
Remix (53.8%): Ethereum’s integrated development environment (IDE)
IPFS (48.7%): Decentralized storage protocol
Java (43.6%): programming language
The EEA surveyed 42 developers, of which 73% of the respondents were enterprise software developers or architects working on Ethereum applications. In addition, the developer stated that Ethereum currently faces many challenges such as high gas fees, scalability, privacy, immature Java tools, and interaction issues.
However, because the sample size is not large enough, there are actually only two problems that appear frequently: Gas cost and capacity expansion. Other problems have no significant trends for the time being. EEA may continue to conduct similar questionnaires in a few months.
Therefore, EEA also believes that the popularization of Layer 2 (Layer 2 network technology) technology for developers may be a way to solve the gas cost and scalability issues.
