Had a sudden thought yesterday. Fusaka Ethereum upgrade is actually good not just for performance - also for safety! How so?

Well, when Ethereum gas was high - everyone tried to do all sorts of tricks to make their code cheaper to execute. For that, one can avoid re-reading storage variables (often at the expense of readability), use unsafe math or inline assembly. It is MUCH HARDER to build safe smart contracts this way.

If L1 gas becomes truly cheap - we don't have to do all of that. Just maximize safety and readability - that is it!

And remember that Chernobyl disaster was essentially caused by trying to save a little bit on manufacturing control rods, having their "useless" tips filled with graphite. Saving a few pennies in transaction prices on EVM can sometimes lead to similar disasters!
