Ethereum is turning into a labyrinth of unnecessary complexity with EOF

Ethereum's EOF upgrade is unnecessarily complex, and its benefits could be delivered through less invasive changes to the existing EVM. The article says EOF introduces two new contract creation semantics (EOFCREATE and TXCREATE) and removes and adds over a dozen opcodes. It argues that goals such as reducing compiler complexity, removing gas and code introspection, and removing codesize limits can each be met by validation rules or updated pricing in the current EVM. It also lists costs including the need to maintain the legacy EVM, tooling coordination, and a reentrancy issue with send() and transfer() noticed only a month before Osaka's scheduled finalisation.
