A beginner's intro to coding zero-knowledge proofs
Other languages and frameworks I still have to try out are Zokrates, Cairo, SnarkyJS, Gnark, and Leo. I hope to update this post as I go through them!

Tornado Cash with Halo2
Circuits were written with Circom and that’s what we’re going to change. We’ll rewrite those circuits with Halo2, the PSE implementation (the KZG one, i’ll tell you more about it in the next section).

A beginner's intro to coding zero-knowledge proofs
When starting with Halo2, keep in mind that there are two flavors of the framework out there: the vanilla one maintained by ZCash, and the fork by Ethereum's Privacy and Scaling Explorations team which uses a different polynomial commitment (KZG instead of IPA) that's more friendly for Ethereum.
