A place for talking about the Ethereum Virtual Machine on Farcaster.

evm nerds, 

what's an efficient Huff lang implementation of this 'SimpleStringStore' ?

i can write a bad and costly one. please teach me, thanks

Have you read this brief section in the Huff docs on "Hello World?" https://docs.huff.sh/tutorial/hello-world/#primer-abi-encoding

I'd start with the way Solidity does it, then try to do better:

That is: 
- If the string is long, store the length in slot n and each word of the data in slot keccak(n) + i
- If the string is short, pack the length and data in a single slot.

...then you can start making more simplifying assumptions. For example, since this stores a single string and has no other state variables, you could skip the keccak, and just store length + data sequentially starting from slot 0.

I solved 'huff-puzzles' and played around with strings in general: https://github.com/nkrishang/huff-puzzles-solutions

My `SimpleStringStore` includes multiple storage read / writes and I have a hunch that I'm missing fundamental understanding that leads to those multiple storage read/writes

I'll post my `SimpleStringStore` solution in a bit !!
