Do you see there being multiple node implementations in eCash (analogous to btcd, libbitcoin, Core, Knots, Floresta, etc in BTC)?

The eCash L1 is just Bitcoin Core + like 7 small commits. We are trying to crunch it down as much as possible.

So any question you ask about eCash L1, you could also ask about Bitcoin Core.

Are these multiple nodes useful? IDK. Probably not.

There used to be a javascript implementation of Bitcoin Core called "bcoin" (maybe there still is). It was not taken seriously /as a replacement/ for Bitcoin Core -- but it could do a bunch of neat tricks, like run in a browser. This was entertaining and often educational. In particuarly, bcoin actually had comments in the code -- so you could point people there to read, and learn how Bitcoin works.

libbitcoin only exists because Core is terrible at their jobs. I would be pretty ashamed, if someone (for example) rewrote the Bip300_301 as, like, a lib_bip300_301 enforcer.
