📝 Original message:thanks for you suggestion, Gijs.
I spent some time learning miniscript, and there are some problems that need to confirm for me:
1. Is miniscript a brand new Bitcoin scripting language?
2. If I use miniscript, do I need to compile it into a Bitcoin OP_CODE script? If so, how to do that ? has someone written a compiler?
I found that @sipa has open sourced a compiler implemented in C++ on github( https://github.com/sipa/miniscript ). This should translate the policy language into miniscript;

📝 Original message:Hi all,
Is there a tool like Ethereum EVM at present? Users can write bitcoin scripts in a syntax just like python(or like other programming language); through this tool, they can be translated into bitcoin original scripts; it sounds like a new programming language has been invented.
In my opinion， Bitcoin script programming is based on reverse Polish expression; this is not friendly to programmers;
In fact, Bitcoin's opcode expression ability is very rich, and it may be unfriendly, which has affected the promotion of Bitcoin in the technical community.
Hope for hearing some voice about this.
Best wish.
