i hate writing typescript tests for smart contracts (solidity & rust) bc getting type safety to work is always annoying, so most people don't bother

few things as defeating as copying test boilerplate from some other repo, fixing the imports, and then seeing absolutely 0 ide errors

why even use typescript??

i like writing typescript when i'm the only other person that has touched the repo because everyone else is insane and does unholy things with structural types and has insane tsconfig and module settings

unless i haven't touched the repo in a while, in which case, past me was clearly insane

Talks about crypto and coffee. Building onchain algo trading - check out my channels /algo-trading and /python

cheat codes are op and infinitely more intuitive than manipulating some context object in a foreign language; skill issue

but yeah inheritance is for the weak

Python for smart contract testing is a breeze.

Also I do not understand people who try to do testing in Solidity: Solidity is not a general purpose programming language and using vm.prank() etc. escape hatches and thousands of muti-inherited contracts make tests hard to read and maintain mess.

You use typescript so that you can fix typing and build errors
