Kiwi News bundle.js. It's sadly 2MB big and I'd like to reduce its size. But I don't see any obvious optimizations.

I‘m open to it but what are the consequences and what do I gain?

Outside of the time to migrate, would check to see if there's any gaps in coverage for how you currently use Ethers (migration guide: https://viem.sh/docs/ethers-migration.html) but you'd likely see some benefits from a bundle size & performance standpoint: https://viem.sh/docs/introduction.html#bundle-size

I feel a bit sad for @ricmoo also: Why migrate from ethers, it's a good lib no?

na I don't have any obvious features missing, it's all good. One issue was definitely that in-between versions the EIP712 method name changed or something (I remember darkly). But I just looked at the viem bundler size savings and they aren't significant enough to switch.

I’d be curious to hear from real-world users what they prefer from one or the other. I personally use ethers (obviously) and am used to it, so maybe there are features missing? I’m always open to discussions though, if so. :)

Ya I mean ethers is great, but we made that change b/c of the performance/bundle improvements offered. I mean, to your original question about ways to lower your bundle size, this is seemingly an opportunity, but also totes agree that there's costs involved with making that change
