EVMC compatibility

[axic]

EVMC has the goal to be the binary ABI between VMs and clients. It is already supported by Aleth and geth as clients and aleth-interpreter and Hera as VMs.

Making SputnikVM compatible with EVMC would enable its use with the above mentioned clients.

It seems that the C FFI is fairly similar to EVMC, but not exactly the same. Have you considered making it compatible with EVMC?

Note: EVMC also has a Go binding.

We're aware of EVMC, but we don't have plans to work on compatibility with EVMC at this moment. We may reconsider it later, when we'll have time for it.

Or, if someone else needs to have EVMC support right now, we'll appreciate a PR with such functionality

We're aware of EVMC, but we don't have plans to work on compatibility with EVMC at this moment.

Would you be able to explain some reasons behind this decision? Just curious.

It appears that some of the work is duplicated and joint efforts could help both projects.

We just don't have resources for that at this moment
