this is what vyper v0.4.0 looks like btw. the dream is real!

It's hard not having 15 kernels running after learning about JupyterLab 😅

🚀 The release of Vyper v0.4.0 featuring the brand new “Venom” backend is now out 🎉 Highlights of this release include: • Major overhaul with a versatile import system • “Venom” backend with improved design, structure, code analysis and optimization • New built-in functions

Vyper 0.4.0 has two other major aspects: a new optimization pipeline ("venom") which is a classic basic-block SSA-based IR, but with passes specially designed for stack machines (specifically EVM) x.com/harkal/status/…. this is the SOTA pipeline which we will be devoting /

It is pretty interesting how Ethereum became a worse version of both the banking system and Cosmos simultaneously 🤔

Getting started on Solana programs from Ethereum app development does seem daunting at first, but it is super comfy and unified with either anchor or just solana-program and borsh crates.🫡Accelerate

.Javier Milei este es el trato: te enseñaré Vyper y aprenderás a reinventar el sistema financiero usando un lenguaje de programación hermoso y fácil de digerir que puede arreglar tus problemas económicos. Puedes invitarme a un asado argentino después.

LiteSVM stands out as a well-designed, fast, and lightweight in-process Solana VM, optimized for Solana program developers with "just right" abstractions and minimalism. It has a modular structure, clear interfaces, and functional programming elements for proper abstractions and

True optimization maestros transcend hand-tuning ephemeral code. They sculpt the very essence of compilation, crafting elegant abstractions and transformations that elevate entire languages. Imagine the profound impact of refining the compiler itself—a force multiplier that

caffeinate -dsu & magic that keeps Apple silicon from sleeping AND prevents CPU from throttling/overheating

what if i told you that you can have fast compile times in addition to full suite of optimizations? here is an example of compiling a medium size contract, and a large size contract (near the EIP-170 codesize limit) with the latest and SOTA optimizations. under 5.5s!

Dear Ethereum foundation, please help Vyper, the language created by vitalik.eth, with funding. Safety is what makes Ethereum the leader of blockchain space, so please help to keep it that way ♥️

And since the hack data now has language info, we can also do language-based stats! Rust may be safe, but clearly not web3 safe. Solidity fares better but Vyper slithers ahead 🐍. Java comes from a single data point on ICON.

I have a feeling this trend will extend beyond app teams to (real) infra and tooling

Transparency or Illusion? Many crucial decisions for Ethereum’s funding and EIP advancement happen behind closed doors, aligned with 'data' that selectively highlights benefits while hiding a broader reality.

vyper is now shipping with a venom parser so you can compile venom directly! many thanks to @real_philogy for contributing this and getting it over the finish line!

Israeli researchers have played a foundational role in shaping the cryptographic backbone of Web3 — from ZKPs to MPC, FHE, and consensus. Think you’re deep in crypto? Test yourself: how many of these names do you recognize? 🧵👇

Another beauty, very intuitive, thank you Solidity - "we didn't guarantee evaluation order and still don't but thought you should know" - "but it should be left to right" - "except for some random exceptions"

hey can someone remind me the % of major projects whose entire test suites are written in solidity
