Solidity was initiated in October 2014 when neither the Ethereum network nor the virtual machine had undergone any practical testing; the gas fees at that point were even tremendously distinct from what they are today. In addition, several of the initial design choices were inherited from Serpent. Over the past few months, instances and protocols that were previously deemed best practice have been subjected to real-world scenarios, and some of them indeed proved to be counterproductive patterns. Consequently, we have recently revised portions of the Solidity documentation, but since it is likely that many individuals do not keep up with…
