@_hrkrshnn Based. Solidity is so simple. Maybe my first and last programming language once we get frontends onchain.

@_hrkrshnn Your contribution to inline non-CSE breaking functions in the legacy pipeline is what made modern zero-cost-abstraction Solidity possible.

@_hrkrshnn This is insightful, but I can't just wrap my head around why someone would argue against removing arithmetic overflow/underflow. I can't sincerely make an argument that justifies it.

@_hrkrshnn Oh wow.. I mean no, the thing is it's not that important. If solidity was as shitty as JS it would be of some importance (but not much). People that make it (whatever high level abstraction) a full time career needs to pretend its very important. It isn't.
