gm, hooks-based react evm rpc api was a terrible mistake

instead of having easy-to-follow top-to-bottom left-to-right syntax we have something similar to try/catch we had with promises when your eyes constantly search for state variables

Looking through? With my physical eyes? No ty, I’ll just wait for GPT5. No more coding like a barbarian.

(Also idk what you’re referencing here, just wanted to spread the good word of the return of our lord)

not really sure what you mean, viem doesn't have hooks ser

i don't "like" either, i like writing less code

sometimes declarative paradigm helps with this goal, sometimes imperative — and with contract calls it is obvious that hooks make you write more code

tell me you like imperative programming without telling me you like imperative programming

(react is declarative btw)

I was shocked to see the new hook based primitives. it has his benefits for native rpc calls but beyond that just adds unnecessary boilerplate to my code base

my main feedback on wagmi/viem isn't the hooks, it's the fact that you need a ph. d to read their types

good luck trying to use viem without inferred types
