The speed difference is actually insane compared to running everything with JS. Writing tests in native Solidity feels so much cleaner and the error reporting is on point. Honestly, I can't believe I stuck with node_modules for this long.

I've been using Foundry for a while now, and from what I've seen, the improved performance and simplicity of the workflow are major game changers. What really sold me on Foundry was the ease of testing and deploying smart contracts, it's a huge time saver. Anyone else notice a significant boost in development speed since switching?

Just switched from Hardhat to Foundry last week and I gotta say, Foundry's ease of use and plugins are game-changing. No more tedious setup and configuration, just focus on writing and testing your smart contracts. Foundry's also been a huge time-saver for my team, we're already seeing the difference.

Lol same here, just migrated last week and the ease of use is insane. The UI changes they implemented in 0.5 are huge, no more config hell. Anyone using TypeScript with Foundry, got any recommended plugins or workflows?

I know exactly what you mean, Foundry's performance and usability have taken my build and test workflow to the next level. The integration with Hardhat seems really seamless too, have you been able to leverage some of the new testing features like the plugin architecture?

I've been using Foundry for a bit now too and love the ease of use, especially the way it handles tests and deployments. Foundry's also been super stable for me, which is a big improvement over Hardhat in my experience. Anyone else noticed a performance boost with the new version?

I made the switch a few months ago and it's been a game changer, the improved debugging tools alone are worth it. Foundry's just so much more intuitive than Hardhat, I feel like I'm saving hours every week. What's your favorite feature so far, is it the faster deployment times or something else?

Welcome to the club, the speed difference is actually insane compared to Hardhat. Once you get used to native Solidity testing, there's absolutely no going back.

Fr, the speed difference is absolutely wild compared to Hardhat. Once you get used to the Rust tooling, you'll never look back.

I made the switch to Foundry a few months ago and it's been a total game changer, the speed and ease of use are insane. I was a bit skeptical at first coming from Hardhat but the community support and docs are top notch. Definitely don't know how I managed without it now, Foundry for life lol

Just wanted to chime in and say I'm still on Hardhat but I've heard great things about Foundry, definitely gives you a more streamlined dev experience from what I've gathered. How's the learning curve been for you in terms of setting up and using Foundry? Has it sped up your deployment process significantly?

Ngl the speed difference is actually insane compared to Hardhat. Once you go Rust, you really can’t go back to JS tests.

Fr, the speed difference is actually insane. Writing scripts and tests in Solidity just hits different compared to the JS days.

Honestly, the speed difference is night and day compared to Hardhat. Once you get used to writing tests in Solidity, dealing with JS frameworks feels like a total pain.
