He was also a key contributor to the <!-- --><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"chakra-link css-ug8vf0\" href=\"https:\/\/ethereum-homestead.readthedocs.io\/en\/latest\/\">homestead guide<!-- --><\/a>.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">RJ joined Eris Industries in March and is working on the Solidity compiler.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">Moreover, the collaboration and communication between the C++ and the Go teams has reached a completely new level compared to before. One of the motivations for enhancing the interpreter is to establish a benchmark for the go-ethereum interpreter; insights gained during this process will directly inform the go interpreter, just as an illustration.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\"><strong>Announcing Remix<!-- --><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">Developing Solidity itself and offering resources and tools for those writing smart contracts and dapps represent one of the most substantial areas of focus for the C++ team. A crucial such tool is a debugger for Solidity and the Ethereum Virtual Machine, enabling developers to &#8220;look inside&#8221; the virtual machine and identify the precise location in their code that is not performing as expected. Our IDE <!-- --><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"chakra-link css-ug8vf0\" href=\"http:\/\/ethdocs.org\/en\/latest\/contracts-and-transactions\/mix.html\">Mix<!-- --><\/a> is an excellent piece of software that provides just that. Unfortunately, most users do not utilize it and tend to favor <!-- --><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"chakra-link css-ug8vf0\" href=\"http:\/\/github.com\/chriseth\/browser-solidity\">browser-solidity<!-- --><\/a> or simply various unit testing tools.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">This is understandable; people are reluctant to switch editors (I suspect this is also the reason why we&#8217;ve seen a plethora of Solidity plugins for existing IDEs in recent months) or install additional software. Additionally, the relative amount of external contributions we received for the html5+js-based minimalist IDE browser-solidity compared to C++\/Qt-based Mix is simply staggering.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">Due to this and to enhance modularity, reusability, and openness, we have decided to rethink the way we aim to provide developer tools: With the <!-- --><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"chakra-link css-ug8vf0\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ethereum\/remix\">remix project<!-- --><\/a> we will develop a series of reusable html5+js modules aimed at the development and debugging of smart contracts.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">This indicates that integrating a debugger for EVM and Solidity into browser-solidity (which will also be positioned more prominently in the future), as well as into Visual Studio Code, Atom, Sublime, and essentially any IDE that is html5+js-based, will be achievable. You will even have the capability to launch the debugger within Mist, including for past transactions!<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">It may be slightly premature to experiment with remix, but if you&#8217;re interested, follow the instructions in the repository, ensuring you utilize the latest develop version of cpp-ethereum as the backend node.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">For everyone else: Here is a screenshot of an early proof of concept version:<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\"><a class=\"chakra-link css-ug8vf0\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.ethereum.org\/images\/posts\/2016\/05\/remix.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\"><strong>Other Tasks<!-- --><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">Regarding the current focus on other projects, we are enhancing the runtime efficiency of the virtual machine. Greg has made excellent strides in this domain and continues to have numerous ideas. We are in the process of establishing general benchmarks, allowing us to compare the performance of various implementations and the disparities between interpreters and just-in-time compilers. Our goal is to make the just-in-time compiler accessible for other implementations such as py-ethereum and, of course, go-ethereum.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">For Solidity, the primary areas of focus are currently fixed-point types, structs as part of the ABI, and enhancing the versatility of libraries through &#8220;inlineable&#8221; functions and templates. Furthermore, we encourage the community to develop and publish valuable libraries. Special thanks to Alex Beregszaszi (@axic), Nick Johnson (@Arachnid), and Andreas Olofsson (@androlo) for their excellent contributions in this regard!<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">Lastly, we aim to alleviate the challenges currently faced when dealing with the C++ codebase, primarily due to external and internal dependencies. We are almost at the position where Solidity can be compiled independently, and our objective is to return to our original home, the ethereum\/cpp-ethereum repository, separating parts only where it makes sense, specifically for Mix, Solidity, and EVMJIT.<!-- --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ethereum.org\/en\/2016\/05\/04\/c-dev-update-announcing-remix\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After nearly three months into the &#8220;relaunch&#8221; of the C++ team, I would like to provide an update regarding the team itself, what we have accomplished and our future plans.
