A place for talking about the Ethereum Virtual Machine on Farcaster.

Why isn't LLL a more commonly used smart contract language these days? At a glance Lisp seems like a natural fit for writing low-level EVM contracts (similar to Yul's right-to-left grammar style but with better ergonomics).

Looks like the LLL compiler was removed from solidity (https://github.com/ethereum/solidity/issues/7949), which explains why it's not currently used. To reframe the question: why isn't there a Lisp-style EVM language in use today? Seems like a great fit for a stack-based VM.

Vyper IR is Lispy, it's basically a successor to LLL: https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/blob/3b310d5292c4d1448e673d7b3adb223f9353260e/vyper/ir/README.md
