"Hurra! I got rid of Evolution."

I see you found religion, congratulations. How does it feel knowing the earth is only 4000 years old?

@modrobert This has been a think long before covid.

@tripu basic markdown, and I think we may not support some aspects of even that (like linline images).

@Acer

Similar to "commit" I'd say.

Dear movie directors... stop depicting people outrunning explosions. Not even Hussein bolt could outrun an explosion. That is all.

@icedquinn ok then you arent really talking about ethereum but rather a new cryptocurrency that is a fork of the eth codebase.. thats fine, but wasnt clear thats what you meant.

@icedquinn If the code needs a special virtual machine to run, and it isnt running the EVM, then it cant be used ont he ethereum blockchain in the first place as the miners are running EVM.. When you write a smart contract you arent the one who gets to dictate the computer that will run it, and therefore dont get to dictate the virtual machine used.

@icedquinn 1) the evm itself wont tell you if a symbol is available to call. You must know before hand and if your wrong it errors. This has issues for both visibilitya nd fallback calls.

2) visibility does exist at the assembly level. If you are writing a contract you must specify visibility which as it is enforced at runtime not compile time like most languages.

3) if you are writing a contract not sure how a host API would help, these things need to be encoded directly into your contract, its not like other languages where you can delegate calls to a standard library. Everything is compiled into your contract.

@L29Ah As I said before, there are a few edge cases to this. Notably high pressure chambers that blow.

@realcaseyrollins Would not be hard to recode it to prevent uploads at the very least.

@icedquinn its not just about halting or size. For example how would you define a functions visibility which would be external, internal, private or public... or other function modifiers like view or pure if the language doesnt have mechnisms for this. what about defining fallbacks with their extremely small gas price where you can only do real basic single operations, or how would you invoke EIPs like the proxy eip that use storage addresses that dont actually exist.

@icedquinn that sounds like the gas price would be unreasonably large with some huge problems. the EVM is just too finicky to not have some sort of customized language.

@icedquinn Hey at least its not bitcoin.. but yea im eagerly awaiting Cardano's smart contracts.

@icedquinn

Solidity: We are basically java script except we have done every possible convention the exact oppposite.

@anonymoose

The Fediverse is a magical place like that.

In that case I must be an asshole.
