I get a little technical and try to understand what EVM is, and then how WASM is the next step in the evolution of a decentralized virtual machine. Just when I begin to understand some of the basics of Ethereum, here they go already kicking it up another notch! I also talk about some of the super fundamentals like what is a compiler, what is Turing complete, etc... Many of us have not had the chance to sit in classes that talked about this. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my terribly loose style and way of trying to externalize this stuff.
