Buterin outlines Ethereum’s cryptographic world computer shift

The cryptographic world computer We talk about Ethereum as "a blockchain", as though it is fundamentally the same technology as the Bitcoin that Satoshi Nakomoto created back in 2009. In many ways it is, and in some ways even the "lean Ethereum" of the future that is being built along the lines of the Strawmap retains the core trappings of a blockchain.…

Swift Proposal Adds C++ Exception Handling Interoperability

Swift Proposal Adds C++ Exception Handling Interoperability

Hi everyone, I'd like to work on handling C++ exceptions from Swift and discuss how the APIs should be imported before getting too far into the implementation. Currently, Swift cannot catch a C++ exception that escapes into Swift code. To handle one, we need a C++ wrapper that catches the exception and reports an error back to Swift.…

Rather than give anyone a reason to look at my code, let’s outsource the roasting.…
