Geth AMA
summary
go-ethereum remains the core execution client with a clear position: no spinout because deep EF integration, shared tooling and protocol stewardship matter more than independence. Top engineering problems are state management, a large backwards-compatible API surface and poor modularity — state is main bottleneck — with the long-promised small archive node coming soon. Reth earns praise for Foundry integration and performance; leadership changes bring sharper focus but mixed feelings; social conflicts around Peter are behavioral, not technical.
