  Pythonic Smart Contract Language for the EVM

  

Patrick Collins, CEO of uh "Chain Accel / Cyfrin / Alpha Chain" (video, kinda) gave a different kind of talk than most, focusing on the differences between Solidity and Vyper in terms of their compilation strategies and optimizations. Maybe it's just nice to see a talk that's just a collection of technical fun facts rather than trying to shill me on their product. I'll admit I didn't realize people still used Vyper, but I'm not a smart contract dev and their github is still active at least. An interesting look into compiled EVM bytecode/opcode.

I had some Besu database corruption and subsequently had a few failed attempts to resync which also resulted in corruption. Then I realized that the 23.1.0 release had flown under the radar. I updated, and checkpoint sync appears to be going smoothly so far with worldstate download at 30% and block import at 75%. I'm wondering if recent updates to openjdk-17-jre somehow negatively impacted older versions of Besu.
