Async Solidity Contracts

Having seen @pirapira's sketch of Bamboo ( https://github.com/pirapira/bamboo/ ), which proposed to add better control about the "smart contract program flow", even across calls, I thought that this should certainly be added to Solidity, and actually, it might even be possible now to a certain degree using inline assembly.

The problem is that with many functions in a contract, it is not always clear which can be called at which stage in the contract's lifetime. Certain smart contracts would be easier to understand if written as follows:

Auto-deploying built products to gh-pages with Travis

Auto-deploying built products to gh-pages with GitHub Actions

This is a set up for projects which want to check in only their source files, but have their gh-pages branch automatically updated with some compiled output every time they push.

A file below this one contains the steps for doing this with Travis CI. However, these days I recommend GitHub Actions, for the following reasons:

  • It is much easier and requires less steps, because you are already authenticated with GitHub, so you don't need to share secret keys across services like you do when coordinate Travis CI and GitHub.
  • It is free, with no quotas.
  • Anecdotally, builds are much faster with GitHub Actions than with Travis CI, especially in terms of time spent waiting for a builder.
