That's actually a problem in lots of project. Managers thinking more dev = can get more done. Which is true up to a point... It also mean more maintenance, more communication, more buggy code, regression and user workflow broken. "The mythical man month" is a timeless book.

I’ve longed argued that Ethereum could be made into a proper Bitcoin competitor if it adopted an extremely strict monetary policy, increased block times, replaced Solidity with a Forth-like stack language…

Hey Michael, what do you think of bitcoin simplicity?

It’s a very awesome research project, and I can’t wait to see how it develops.

The computer you're using now contains around 1 billion transistors. So there's a billion of things which could go wrong. And yet it works. So what you say is like approaching people who try to build a general-purpose computer and telling them they should build a calculator

instead. Simpler, sure. But not the same thing at all. I'm sure Vitalik already reduced the number of features N to the bare minimum needed to accomplish what he has in mind, and further reduction will remove functionality the system is supposed to have.

Sure, cut off all the buzzword "features", radically reduce all the unnecessary complexity, minimize the attack surface and you end up with... Bitcoin?!

Well then you get a blockchain that doesn't do interesting stuff like DeFi and project funding and stablecoins and derivatives and DEXes and tokens.

The fundamental issue is that an attacker can have arbitrary code interact with your contract. That’s by design. Imagine if Bitcoin script was still concatenated instead if evaluated sequencially. And nobody wanted to fix it because it was a core feature.

This is one reason I'm optimistic for Grin and the removal of scripting. Our MPC future awaits.

While I agree, it’d be nice to be able to create smart contracts on Bitcoin as easily as is possible on Ethereum, but...
