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

I now understand at least one benefit of Foundry. Because all of your tests and scripts are in Solidity, it actually helps you learn a lot more of the details of the language and how the EVM works.

For example, building signatures and preparing for GnosisSafe transactions. There is tooling on the typescript side, but requires more work when doing it in Solidity.

downside: there are a lot of transactions I need to convert to Typescript ultimately, and this requires me doing some work twice.

Yes! I think this is the case. I've learned so much just through trying to understand how to implement Foundry.

💯 

less context switching between languages gives me so much more focus. feels like my brain moves closer to the EVM

It’s meant to facilitate the kind of experimentation you describe.

but also... the tests are soooo fast :D Having a fast implementation -> validation cycle is something I missed the whole time I was using a typescript testing harness.
