EVM is not a language. EVM is deterministic otherwise the whole Ethereum would not function at all. Your criticism is directed more towards ie. Solidity. However alternatives are not availble as far as I know. There are some research projects but everything in this area is in alpha-research state.



The problem is with the structure of the VM and its bytecode language. There are additional problems with Solidity, but the VM itself is the problem. Solidity only amplifies a poor architecture: https://medium.com/kadena-io/the-evm-is-fundamentally-unsafe...
