ChainCatcher message, in response to the statement "The self-updating of Ethereum requires generational/talent replacement. And the next generation needs to be rooted in Ethereum values (such as cypherpunk)," Vitalik Buterin replied on Warpcast: "I actually think that the growth of the application layer is precisely the time when good social philosophy is most needed. To put it another way: suppose C++ was developed by a totalitarian racist fascist. Would it be a worse language? Probably not. C++ is general-purpose and has little room for bad social philosophy to corrupt it (or for good social philosophy to improve it). Ethereum Layer-1 is not entirely like that: those who do not believe in decentralization will not add light clients, FOCIL, or (good forms of) account abstraction; those who do not care about energy waste will not spend five years migrating to PoS. But in any case, the opcodes of the EVM might be roughly the same. Therefore, Ethereum might be 50% general-purpose. Applications are about 80% specialized. What kind of applications you build largely depends on your ideas about what Ethereum applications (and Ethereum as a whole) will do for the world. Thus, having good ideas on this topic becomes crucial."Additionally, Vitalik listed some applications, considering good applications like Railgun, Farcaster, Polymarket, Signal, and bad ones like Pump.fun, Terra/Luna, FTX. He believes that the differences in application functionality stem from developers holding different beliefs about the goals they want to achieve.
