EOF: When Complexity Outweighs Necessity

https://hackmd.io/@pcaversaccio/eof-when-complexity-outweighs-necessity

A lot of time and energy went into this new deep dive on EOF. We break down its supposed benefits and argue they're more "nice-to-haves" than essential upgrades. Instead of adding complexity, we highlight cleaner, less disruptive solutions that achieve the same goals. EOF's objectives are solid—but there's a smarter way to get there.

I would like to highlight that the authors and contributors of this post represent the full EVM stack—from VM and formal specification maintainers to compiler engineers, application developers, and library creators.

Please reflect on this guys. If you got feedback, let us know here: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/ethereum-is-turning-into-a-labyrinth-of-unnecessary-complexity-with-eof-lets-reconsider-eof/23136

Ethereum is turning into a labyrinth of unnecessary complexity with EOF - Let's reconsider EOF.

great read! totally agree that sometimes keeping it simple is the way to go. EOF's goals are cool, but maybe a bit over-engineered. 🤔 keep up the awesome work!
