 Yul (previously also called JULIA or IULIA) is an intermediate language that can be
 compiled to bytecode for different backends.
 
-Support for EVM 1.0, EVM 1.5 and Ewasm is planned, and it is designed to
-be a usable common denominator of all three
-platforms. It can already be used in stand-alone mode and
-for "inline assembly" inside Solidity
-and there is an experimental implementation of the Solidity compiler
-that uses Yul as an intermediate language. Yul is a good target for
-high-level optimisation stages that can benefit all target platforms equally.
