Retweet for "Simple Subroutines" EIP.

Why is this relevant to be tweeted by @ETC_Network ?

Because EVM improvements (like this and its associated EIPs - like EVM Object Format AKA EVM versioning) are probably the ETC improvements which have been the longest waiting and are the least controversial.

Improving the EVM is a win for all chains, but these EIPs are even more signifiant for ETC than for other chains, given that we have no plans for L1 scaling.

1. Cheaper gas costs for equivalent functionality results in more txs per block.
2. Static analysis from these simple subroutines makes for a safer chain.
3. Versioning makes it much easier to ensure immutability of smart contracts

These just off the top of my head.

Not having (3) was the root cause of a lot of the pain of Phoenix, where we ended up breaking some existing smart contracts because of missing such control. And (2) is obviously very ETC aligned. Security first.

I should write a blog post about this at some stage, but for now the tweet just gets this on ETC people's radar.

So ETC should be helping with these proposals.
