in the beginning:

states are bad except my type of states are good, mmkay? code is law!

 -- balajis, probably

not long thereafter:

“hmm, maybe this solidity thing on something as shitty as JS isn’t the best idea? sorta has some gaps, weird. how did this ever happen?”

 -- anyone without an ounce of sense and awareness

soon: “I know, let’s just make a whole new annotation specification, and then mark up laws ourselves!”

like people haven’t already been fucking up API client implementations from reference specs in hand for decades

it’ll go well, I’m sure
