Hello. I'm an Aptos regular user. Not a Dev though
I just came across this and I’m super curious: apparently researchers from the University of Toronto and Shanghai Tree-Graph Blockchain Research Institute just published a paper showing that Aptos Move can now support EVM compatibility with less than 5% performance overhead.
From what I understand (as a non tech guy), that means developers could soon deploy and interact with both Move and EVM smart contracts on Aptos?
As a non-technical person, I’m wondering what does this actually mean for Aptos in practical terms?
Does this mean Devs can now build on Aptos writing with solidity?
Is this possible? My beleif was always- one chain=one language. Are there chains out there that their smart contracts executes on more than one language?
Would love to hear thoughts from a seasoned dev POV?

Can someone explain how this new Aptos Move + EVM compatibility breakthrough actually impacts Aptos?
