@MehenOfficial > USDC, ya’ll need to chill begging for the BS. We built our cathedral and soon it’ll have first class on/off ramps to USD. We are good at waiting a little.
This means you can write cardano smart contracts now with literally nothing installed on your machine other than a browser. The experience isn't as good as local development of course, but this is pretty neat.

just finished adding support for copying validator bytes out of the @aiken_eng playground

this little feature experiment is going well, we're introducing the ability to say that a functions scope is pure and therefore you can't use `expect`, `fail`, or call a function that's impure. check out the error for it (WIP)

not everything is a competition, we’re talking about two non-profits here. One responsible for a Haskell node and one responsible for a rust node. Two parallel efforts both trying to improve cardano and collaborate with the community at large.

I appreciate the article but I find the part that says Aiken sacrifices developer experience for performance to be extremely inaccurate. The whole point is that it’s not only faster but ALSO A BETTER experience.

I believe it’s better to say “jack shit” in this case, which means nothing. “Bat shit” usually is used to mean something is crazy. I may be wrong 🤷🏽‍♂️
Just wished grandma a happy birthday. 84 and she was definitely happier than all you miserable people.
lmao no offense of course but just take a look at Roc, it compiles very fast. They had to do a lot of work to make it happen, so it’s not a free lunch. But it’s totally doable and tenable.

If they could just enjoy their esoteric stuff without crapping on everything else they would be tolerable. No language is objectively better than any other, they all kinda suck a little.

wrote a smart contract to mimic BTC. Offchain miners compete to find the next datum (“block”). If tx succeeds the datum gets updated at the smart contract address and a reward of 50 tuna is minted. Halves like BTC, difficulty adjusts like BTC, and it’s kinda

It will degrade eventually into a bunch of power hungry incompetent people leading the pack. All systems end up like this over time. I’m just enjoying the ride while I’m here (life).
that’s not a function inside the datum, that’s just an associated function as far as I can tell. Whether or not one attaches methods to data types is an aesthetic choice mostly. Not sure what you mean but update the datum but any contract can do that as long as they write the
