Spent the night playing around with noir again. It's been a few months since I checked it out last, and I feel like it's at the point now where I'm having fun figuring it out. Reminds me of how solidity felt around 2017~2018.

Lovely to hear! What have been unexpected bumps you've run into so far?

The biggest thing so far was while I was installing the bb backend I needed to install another dependency before I could get it to work, but I searched the discord and found it pretty quick. Something that might be a convenient feature is being able to cast an array of u1s into a field element, but I have no idea on if that's technically plausible. I'm a little surprised that there isn't a native U256 type since it's pretty ubiquitous in blockchain spaces now. But, I see there is one in the bignum library, I'm just a little confused about how to actually use them from that. Other than that it's mostly getting used to the rust like syntax. It's been fun!

Out of curiosity, did you find the barreteneberg installation doc from this section https://noir-lang.org/docs/getting_started/backend/#example-installing-bb ? And does the doc show the required dep (jq?) or was it something else? https://github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-packages/blob/master/barretenberg/cpp/src/barretenberg/bb/readme.md#installation Let us know how you're going with integrating the bignum lib 🤓 DM or reach out in the forum if you need anything.
