Ethereum

Really unexpected take from Georgios from Paradigm

TLDR - Solidity compiler development is in a bad state (I suspect that it sinked under loads of technical debt), other compiler or language is needed for development on Ethereum. What makes it more spicy - Paradigm did a lot to popularize Solidity by building Solidity-specific tools.

Good news is, Ethereum DOES have another language - Vyper. And its compiler is in a really good state now. If you are a dev - time to check it out!

How should we program Ethereum?

Solidity is in a problematic state right now, IMO. Do we make Solidity good? Do we drop Solidity? If we drop Solidity, do we do Vyper or do we do a new lang?

If we're doing a new language, should we instead do a RISCV runtime that works w Rust?
