cardano-sl VS solana

The daily developments were reduced by August but resumed vigorously in September. The whole of September was a busy month for developers as the daily submission rates for most coins were very high. At this time, ETH, DOT, and ADA were the leader as SOL followed closely behind. It was not till towards Mid-October that the daily developments reduced.

So, uh, the two things the blog post covers are actively awful practices. Let's look at Logging. Logging boils down to ServantLogConfig, which carries a function Text -> IO (). This is bad. Text is not a great type for logging, since it's relatively slow and encodings aren't guaranteed to be sensible (cf this bug where logging to a file was broken based on environment encoding). You want something like LogStr from fast-logger, or even a ByteString.Builder or Text.Builder even.

oops I want my Daedalus wallet (actually very surprising it's not there as Cardano uses Nix). Meanwhile this packaging request has been Open since 2017.

Otherwise you can use the following instructions for adding the caches to your local Nix install: https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-sl/blob/master/docs/nix.md#binary-cache

For what it's worth, coincheckup is tracking https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-sl which is the old repo from before they split up a lot of the infrastructure into their own repos.

Solana (9700 GitHub Stars) https://github.com/solana-labs/solana

EIP Core standards: Changes to Solana’s core code go through “feature gates” in the Solana repo. Yes, it’s much less organized than the EIP pages you are used to, and a headache to understand or keep up with. A cost of the speed of development, I’m told.

I visited the project on github (https://github.com/solana-labs/solana), and tried to get an overview of the ~800 open issues and ~100 open PRs.

Solana

With the introduction of new and advanced blockchain platforms in the Web 3.0 scene, the narrative around Ethereum has slowly shifted towards its younger “Ethereum Alternatives”. Solana, Avalanche, and MultiversX (former Elrond) are some of the crypto blockchains that are given this terminology, as they share similar features but are comparatively cheaper and better than Ethereum.

I understand this initiative is connected with Solana network [1] in some way?

They do, actually: https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/security/policy

Not sure I understand your question, but if you want the source code you can find it on github (https://github.com/solana-labs/solana)

Some topics that may be discussed in the next call include @ShinobiSystems Timely Vote Credits proposal (https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/master/docs/src/proposals/timely-vote-credits.md), @elusivprivacy new built-in cryptographic operations to accelerate ZK verification (for privacy tech), and feature activation coordination standards.
