🐍 What is Vyper Lang ?
Vyper is a contract-oriented, pythonic programming language that targets the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
Principles and Goals
- Security: It should be possible and natural to build secure smart-contracts in Vyper.
- Language and compiler simplicity: The language and the compiler implementation should strive to be simple.
- Auditability: Vyper code should be maximally human-readable. Furthermore, it should be maximally difficult to write misleading code. Simplicity for the reader is more important than simplicity for the writer, and simplicity for readers with low prior experience with Vyper (and low prior experience with programming in general) is particularly important.
Features
- Bounds and overflow checking: On array accesses and arithmetic.
- Support for signed integers and decimal fixed point numbers
- Decidability: It is possible to compute a precise upper bound for the gas consumption of any Vyper function call.
- Strong typing
- Small and understandable compiler code
- Limited support for pure functions: Anything marked constant is not allowed to change the state.
This run with small contract using Huff, Solidity, vypepr & yul, revealed that vyper used less gas durinf the smart contract compilation process. Huff had the least gas usage but it is a low level language.
While this isn’t indicative of how it would be used in production. It it gives a good idea of the design of the vyper.
